I blame CindyH for my desire for breakfast food when I emerged from my fog this afternoon after the procedure: an omelet, potatoes & an English muffin from Denny’s — plus the rest of my wife’s fries. I came through the procedure in pretty much one piece — sans one polyp. And received a waiver for the next 5 years. In other words, I don’t have to see Dr. Kutteruff again until 2014. Pretty dang, cool. I would have told you sooner, except I hit the couch to watch “Van Helsing” afterward — and woke up 3 hours later. Didn’t feel much. But I do remember waking up during the process and watching the guided tour of my big intestine. It took about a half hour. Piece of cake. The fasting was the only hard part. If you’re thinking about doing this … just do it/DFO.

Attaboy, daveo. haven’t ever had the pleasure of this procedure; i’m much too young. but i have had 3 children with no drugs. figured it would break me in for what was coming.

Heck, JBelle.
I had four extra large size kiddos with no drugs.
Hate to see what I’m broke in for!

Back in the day, I used to fast completely for 72 hours. Nothing religious, just something I felt good doing. A cleansing for sure, but the body loves you for doing it. Try it sometime. I did that once a month or so for many years, just because I felt the urge. Nothing but water, and the mind clears, believe me.

Hey DFO, now that you’ve pulled your head (thoughts) out of your butt (colonoscopy), are you going to land on a time for Blogfest?
I say we accomodate DOTC and hold the thing fropm 2-4 or even 11-4 like bondgirl suggested…

Its nice to start with a clean slate. Congrats on making it DFO

I just love that God-awful monkey butt picture that seems strategically placed around the DFO’s “procedure” topics on the front page.

DFO, I’m not sure I’d see a Dr. Kutteruff for my colonoscopy. Just in case he got on the wrong side of the anatomy, if you know what I mean. Maybe for a circumcision, but otherwise I think it’s taking an undue chance. :)
