Tips for successful colonoscopy prep

Ditto! But a few years ago I asked my pharmacist why they give the colonoscopy patients the same amount of liquid medicine etc regardless of their weight. (Ex: A 250 lb person compared to a 125 lb person.). This seemed harsh to me. She said that there is a different liquid medicine that you can get that is a lot easier on you. You may have to pay out of pocket if your insurance company doesn't cover it. It's about $135 but well worth it even if I have to pay for it. Good luck! Mine is on November 20th and I have to go every 5 years.

And thank you, @crj. I’m actually using a different prep this time. It wasn’t covered via my insurance and when I told the doc that, they actually gave me a box! I’m hoping for an easier time.
