I got so light headed and dehydrated I felt like fainting so I ate a carton of frozen lemon sorbet at 3 AM and the doctor didn't say anything after the exam.

Based on the sum total of my pharmacy/endoscopy experience, I recommend heartily that you tough this one out all the way. An insufficient prep might lead to a missed diagnosis, a mis-diagnosis, or even having to do the whole thing over again. Much better all around to do it right the first time.

Good luck PW!

I hope the results are negative and you receive a clean bill of health.

And I hope they don't find a toilet seat stuck to your arse.

You made it through the worst part, PDub - the prep. The actual procedure wasn't bad at all. Hope it went well for you.

When the Doctor starts, if he says you might feel a little prick, just tell him you feel sorry for his wife.

I got a prostate exam once. When the doctor's finger went up my pooper, I told him I just wanted to be friends.

Isn't it amazing how easy it is to turn such a horrifying experience into humor?
