Anyone who's had one let me know. The rest of you can have a giggle at my expense.  | |||

it depends whether they knock you out when doing it. they give you an option to be put out or stay awake. I had the first two done and was put out. The last procedure I had I was awake. Although am not a wimp I would not do that again. Its the gag reflex with the rubber block in your mouth that I found very unpleasant. | |||

"I would suggest that you give your self 24 hours to chill out after it. "Nods | |||
"ah so its going up ya bum, no gag reflex then you will most probably be smiling when its happening haha!!" Thats what my mate said. He said the docs will probably comment at how easily its going up.  | |||
you would normally expect to be able to go back to work same day. He was right. In the clinic at 08:30... In the office by 12:00;-);-)
The ex MIL never needed one...
Well ya wouldnt if ya lived with ya head permanently up yer ass... | |||

The stuff they gave me was a powder mixed with cold water. Chemical reaction turned it bath temperature oily foul tasting sludge. sorr to bear bad news. Have a hug to help on the day.

"Just to clarify, its going up me bum, not down my gob. So apart from the enema (yuk) it sounds as if i should be OK." Enema? I had Moviprep Make up 1 litre of water with the two packets of stuff. Like drinking a thick glass of Andrews. And once the floodgates open I suggest you don`t even bother moving off the bog! I was knocked out both times I had it done and the second time it was only down my throat. I have a bad gag reflex which probably explains why. Don`t forget that it`s a technical 24 hour driving ban after you`ve been sedated. | |||
