[quote=Anonymous]I'll have my first colonoscopy next week. Family history dictates starting at age 40. I'm in excellent health, athletic, 5'4", 115 lb. I'm scared that the prep is going to leave me on the bathroom floor weeping in misery. I've taken prep once before years ago, to look in my kidneys to check if I had a freaky bacteria from a developing country (I did but it was only in my bladder). That prep was truly awful (like having cholera). The urologist said kidney prep is harder than colonoscopy prep. Please someone tell me the colonoscopy prep isn't that bad. I'm wondering if I can get away with not drinking the whole thing if I start to feel absolutely awful since I'm smaller than the average person. I asked the urologist and he looked like he didn't know and said "just drink it all." I'll do it but I'm scared.[/quote]
