Hey

      I am also highly anxious about my colonoscopy which actually is a day after yours on the 11th June, I had a postive fit test albeit reading 20 and the limit is 10, the doctor felt what he seemed was a small lump under my rib cage which aches when pressed (usually if a tumour it is hard and does not move), I have been freaking out since with unbearable anxiety and stress, I just want the test over with and praying it is good news. Good luck for your colonoscopy on Tuesday!

Hi,

It so scary isn't it. I keep thinking about cancelling the appointment because am so frightened of what they going to find as it been going on for months now and so convinced it something serious as it got better. But then I need to know so I they can treat it.  It's really affecting my work and social life now. Just want to go back to my normal self again. I wish all the best for your appointment on Wednesday and keep everything crossed for you.

Yes Lucie probably the most scariest experiences of my life so far even after a few stomach surgeries. I think personally we need to know what it is either way, otherwise the anxiety will never go away and if it is serious then we have not delayed it any longer. I am quite pessimistic so always think the worse case scenario it is just me and definitely not helped by constant goggling my symptoms. I wish you all the best for Tuesday hopefully both of us will be relaxed by Thursday next week. Best wishes

And the same to you too on Wednesday. Fingers crossed we're finally get some answers. 

Hello how was your colonoscopy?

Unfortunately I didn't have it. When I had the second lot of stuff to clear my bowel. I brought the whole lot back up. So got to reschedule. How about you?

What bowel prep were you given ? Plenvu ? 

Yes, that was it.

have you had that before ?

No, i was my first time.

The first time i took plenvu was 5 years ago. I had never been sick that bad in all my life, and like yourself,f I was told poor bowel prep and procedure was cancelled.

I had to go through bowel prep again last week I wasn't looking forward to it so leading up to the day ( 3 days before) taking the plenvu I put myself on a low fiber diet of just eating eggs, rice, chicken breast, white bread, bread sticks for snacking on, rich tea biscuits, egg noodles. It was boring food however, when it came to taking the bowel prep I wasn't sick at all this time around. The plenvu prep worked for me within 30 minutes and lasted around 2 hours. Not only did I put myself on that diet I also increased my water intake to double to what I usually drink. The Doctor who did the procedure said bowel prep was excellent. 

I brought the whole of the second lot up ( Plenvu) earlier this year ,it is vile but I still went to my appointment and it was fine and all was ok with the test , I thought about ringing them and telling them what had happened but then I thought just go see what happens ,I did not want to have to drink that again ,I hope all goes well for you .

Your right it is vile i can't think of any drink worse than the plenvu drink.
