Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 My husband just had is 1st follow-up colonscopy, and he did the Visicol tablets this time. Still a lot of drinking to be done, but it didn't taste bad. He says the same thing about apple juice (from last year's test). He ended up drinking water this time which worked out better for him. With the tablets, he was told he could eat chicken noodle soup the day before (with no vegetables in it) and mashed potatoes for supper the day before. But, he decided if he was going through it he didn't want to mess it up so he wouldn't eat anything. He had a 1:00 test (had to be there at 12:00), and they told him he didn't have to start with the mass dose of tablets till about 8:00 that morning. I questioned whether he would be ready to leave the bathroom by 11:30 and she said he might want to start it a little earlier. Well, he started at 5:00 in the morning and he was worried about leaving the bathroom at 11:30. He went 5 times after he bathed and was getting dressed. The nurse almost messed him up with the timing. He was very uneasy when we left the house. He did make it, and only had to go to the bathroom once when we got to the center. I am so glad you got a good report. He did too by the way. Had some areas in the stomach and esophogus biopsied, but they called it reactive gastropothy. He has acid reflux and has been taking Nexium for years.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 LOL! Well I know when my hubby got sick and he had trouble with constipation off and on because of the meds etc. I would get descriptions of the size and shape of things. LOL. I though heaven help me if I get that way.. Guess I put my foot in my mouth on that. LOL. Hugs and Prayers Jolene Re: Re: My Colonoscopy Oh my boys and Phil have always been obsessed with bodily functions. Long before cancer.
