I've had three. Last one about two weeks ago. They claim to find a tiny benign polyp each time, so I can't do the stool sample tests. Good thing is, I'm good for another 5 years. I did the generic SupPrep this time. It didn't taste good at ALL. And was harsher on my stomach than any of the previous ones. I might ask about the the pills next time...

Plus most insurance only pays for one monitoring scope a year. Second one comes out of your pocket if your insurance is like most. The medical center isn’t going to give you a do-over on the bill. I took the second bottle for really cheap insurance (since I already paid for it ) and didn’t want to start again. Something to think about.
We were told to eat/drink clear liquids and broth and no drinks with red or purple dye.

Piece of cake man… just prepare yourself for some toilet time and it will be over before you know it. The peace of mind afterwards makes it worth it.Last edited by Smart; 12-05-2022, 09:53 PM.

Bruce...you will be fine. Just think of all the new friends you will meet!
After it is over check your butt out in a mirror to see if anyone left their phone number Good luck.
They gave me Miralax for mine. Took it with gatorade and away we went.
I was on the yearly scope plan because my first one was done at 57 and they found all kinds of stuff(9 polyps, some big), even a lost set of car keys. But my second one a few months ago showed my bowels didn't go condo again after the polyp removals. So now I am on the three year plan.
