Hi guys!
Firstly, I just want to put a disclaimer- If you are uncomfortable hearing about medical procedures or talking about bowel issues, this video is not for you! I know this is a bit of a random video and to be honest I am very sceptical as to if I should upload this or not! But hopefully by me uploading this video, it will help someone feel less anxious about getting this procedure done.
I went to have my first colonoscopy 6 years ago and there was no information online in regards to a personal experience, so again I hope this video can help at least one person feel at ease or at least know what to prepare for before the procedure!
I do have an IBD (ulcerative colitis) and I was diagnosed in 1999, so talking about this sort of thing doesn't bother me at all! If anyone has any questions or tips for others please do pop a comment down in the comments section or you can privately message me on Instagram (linked below)
Thank you guys for all of your support and good luck to those who are getting ready to have this procedure ❤️

Bless your heart! You are so sweet! I am 63 years old and just having my first one next week and am so anxious about it. I have been crying through your video because you have encouraged me so much by just saying "you're gonna be fine". Thank you! God bless you!

@@louisearmbruster Hello all is well, yes the prep is yucky but worth it so they can see all they need to. Sedation and gas and air were really helpful. Only problem was my bp soared up (anxiety?) they said the sedation would bring it down which it did, the team looked after me so well and once home my bp was normal if not better than normal 😉 Anxiety gone now and very thankful you put this vlog up 👍👏❤️

I have a colonoscopy every year. I drink the prep with a straw. It helps not to taste it as much. Be careful not to drink the prep too fast through the straw as it might cause nausea.

@@lc-il6wr well actually it’s gone down to every two years now but for about 10 years, yes, I had yearly colonoscopies. I have a condition to where I have multiple polyps. When I got my first colonoscopy they found about 100 polyps and removed them. The 2nd year I had about 50. Through the years I’ve made diet changes that have helped to where I might have 4-5 polyps. So the doctor decided I could go 2 years now.

I took three days off all together, the first day for the prep, the second for the procedure and the third for recovery ( plus I get put under anaesthetic and you can't drive for 24 hours afterwards)! I would recommend the extra day for recovery through as you may feel a little bit uncomfortable! ❤️
