I would ask your doctor these questions.

Has your laxitive kicked in yet?

I think they also give a sedative now days. The worst part is the effect of the laxitive.
Have fun :popcorn:

You will be too nervous to worry about food. I would suggest not to eat anything. Anything you eat may slow down the process, and they could have to do it again. And I am sure you will only want this done once.

They will relax you so you wont have much to worry about. It will be over faster than you think!

Just sit on the toilet all day, you'll feel 10 lbs. lighter..:lol: I had twilight sleep and don't remember a thing, just a little memory loss for a day from 1 drug. Rehydrate yourself afterwards and don't forget they want you to fart when you wake up :yay: Piece of cake. Just don't drink alcohol for a few days :roflmao:

I love seditives, best sleep I get. I would get sedated to paint my nails if I could.

Well isn't that cute, I have had to do the poop to get out of the hospital. I hope they rate the farts cause I am bound to get a 10. I have a problem with finding bathroom humor too funny, so I will be loopy, laughing and farting. No mascara for me.

Your fart isn't gonna be any more special then any other fart they hear all day long. It's not a big deal.

Don't forget, no nail polish either. They have to monitor your blood oxygen level and that interferes. Good luck and don't worry. No orange jello!

The effects of the "cleansing" agent are the worst part of it. Don't plan on going anywhere other than the bathroom tonight. And don't even drink water in the morning. Nada. My doctor puts you pretty much out of it. I wasn't even aware it had been done until I woke up. I had 0 pain afterwards, but I know that isn't the case for everyone. I did none of the gas thing. I belched a lot instead.
