Upper GI & Colonoscopy

[2012_taco]

unbelievable how far this post has gone, Larry you'll be back from the doctors and it will still be running. Good luck with your tests.

[ELMER J. FUDD]

Yeah, let us know how everything comes out!

[Big Indian]

Waiting on Lawdwaz to inform us of the results, it was today if I read the 1st post correctly.

[Lawdwaz]

I survived.

Man, last night was really something.........I'll hold off on details.

(One thing I'll add as a tip for anyone having this procedure, buy the top shelf TP. Don't use the cheap stuff that you probably use for daily work)

Thee procedure went well, I had a 7:30 appt. and was on time of course. I felt pretty good at this point but just wanted to get things started. A little of my light humor in the waiting room with the other victims always helps.

15 minutes of waiting, 30 minutes to slip out of the street clothes and then into the gown, one more quick evacuation and hop on the gurney. IV attempt on left arm-no good. Green light with right arm and then some sweet talking nurse is wheeling me into the "Shop of Horrors".

A few nurses moving around, joking about too much coffee and having the shakes! They hook up the high test and knock me right the hell out...........(the last I saw the clock it was 8:30am)

I think I woke myself up with all the escaping gas. Laying on my left side on the gurney still, blasting away and groggy, a nurse taps me on my right shoulder and says "how are you doing?" What, I didn't know you were there! Sorry for all the gas....she says "no, please fire away!" Awesome, only in America............

The Dr came in in the next 20 minutes and said he pulled a polyp from the lower region and it looked benign but they'd test it and get back to me with the results.

Stumbled out, wolfed down my sammies on the ride home and then hit the rack for 4 (FOUR!) hours. I feel good enough now to maybe eat some ice cream then take a little nap........................<grin>

Pics to follow! LOL

[ants]

Unless the pics to follow are of a pretty nurse, don't bother....Glad it went well

[Doewhacker]

Man what a follow up, it's like I was there. (Plugs his nose)

[nyantler]

the Colonoscopy is a piece of cake.. best nap I've had in ages... the prep the night before is a bit stressful.. might as well plan on chaining yourself to the toilet...lol

[Dinsdale]

LOL.....5 pages of strangers interested in a a**hole like you.....errr; I mean your a**hole....errr; I mean your well being.

Only in America on line

[Deerthug]

Oh man! I can't believe I missed this thread! I'm laughing so hard I just about peed on myself. LMFAO!

But seriously, I hope the tests came out with good results.

[GreeneHunter]

Talk about a conversation that went straight into the Toilet .... LOL

[josephmrtn]

LOL glad it went good Larry

[2012_taco]

now its 24 hrs. later and I bet you are eating a huge breakfast , Might as well put the newly cleaned out system to the test! But seriously I'm glad everything is looking ok.

[Larry]

the worst part of the colonoscopy is having to drink that crap the day before they put you out before the test but you get to see the 20ft of garden hose there going to put up your ass, it also has a camera on it so smile. if your having a upper gi thats a kind of x-ray where you drink bad tasting stuff and they see how your upper gi tract is working. if there using the hose only 10ft thats called a endoscopy or something like that. you get good drugs.

[WNYBuckHunter]

What a crappy story!

[landtracdeerhunter]

Have that garden hose run up the old yazza do, while your awake. That is how they did it to me at age 19. The only cool part was seeing the light through your skin. Feel like your guts are being sucked out of u. I'll never forget that pain.

If I was a proctologist I'd have one of those in full view on an instrument tray bed side.

LOL.

[Dr Ignominious Death]

Better to get them both done at the same time, one round of sedation, one round of go-lytely (not so lytely) one round of oral barium and possibly rectal barium. Hope all is well.

You my friend are SICK!

Ohhhhh that would be almost as nasty as what I had....

It was an EGD so I don't think any barium is used? I (as far as I know!) never moved too much on the table while I was out? I started on my left side and woke up on my left side. I think I was out for about 60-75 minutes??

The last thing I remeber was the nurse saying something like OK, were going to get started and she hooked something else up to the IV then put a rubber band type thing around my head and positioned this thing in my mouth so I didn't break my teeth or bite into the cable they were sliding down the hatch.

Then it was lights out........................

At the start of this thread I thought the EGD & upper GI were the same thing. Years ago I had the barium/chest xray deal. That was no fun either!

Oh man,you were "2 man sawed."
