I have never been told that before! But I also didn’t read the summary of the procedure before because it wasn’t online until now! I may not have been told. I have been told by the dr before that the prep wasn’t complete.
My Dr. said she did finish, but it was “difficult”. The prep was torture for me because I was up all night on the toilet. And by morning I was bleeding and crying in terrible pain from hours of that caustic stuff coming out and cleaning myself. ( Sorry, graphic). I think it’s because when you have a redundant colon it takes longer for everything to process through. My husband had a colonoscopy and was done and in bed asleep by 11 the night before. Not me- never slept AT ALL.
Since I don’t have any polyps, although I do have some diverticulosis, I can’t imagine going through this again. I think I’ll stick with Cologard.
