Thanks for the PSA, SMART
Got my first one done about 5 years ago. No issues and doctor told me I should be GTG for 10 years before I need another one.
It was easy to do and the prep wasn't bad at all. Just about the time I thought, "Hey this stuff's not working on me, the (brown) dam broke!"
I'll prob get another in 2022 or 2023, just for my own peace of mind.

I die for my next one at 67. Been free and clear all my life thank God. Years ago my f in law told me the doc found “an angry polyp” in his colon. I told him I’d be angry to if I was stuck on your colon! Stay on top of it fellas!
I do em out of my garage for $50.00. Use a funnel and a flashlight.

Yes...Suprep. Tastes like grape pedialyte and then you mix the small bottle with water....then chase it more water........then again 4 hours before the procedure.

Mine is diagnostic and I have to reach my deductible ($1300) before insurance kicks in. Doc charges $271 for the procedure. $250 for anesthesiologist. The surgery center were it is being done charges $1318. Other cost could be for a pathologist (if biopsy is taken).
