[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a different provider. If you really did what they said.

I am sorry that you have to go through this.

It happened to me once (because they had NOT given me prep instructions).

Capital Digestive Care is good.[/quote]

Agree with this.  While there isn't that much difference between the preps, Golytely is known be to be the least effective.  [b]I am surprised that it is still being prescribed.[/b]  Do you have any underlying conditions?

Sorry you have to go through this again.  I would strongly recommend going to Capital Digestive Care.  Jennifer Lang over there is an amazing nurse practitioner and great at hand holding.  I see Dr. Kirk who is fabulous too.  I am a yearly colonoscopy person and highly recommend them.[/quote]

I don't thinks it's anyones first choice (doctor or patient) but unfortunately it's the cheapest option and therefore it's what a lot of insurances cover. I did Golytely last year for mine, because my insurance wouldn't cover the Suprep that my GI orginially ordered, and it. is. awful. SO much volume, so terrible tasting. It worked, at least.  This year I paid like $100 out of pocket to get the Suprep, since it's less volume. It was still extremely unpleasant, though. Also effective. I'm going to push for a pill version next time.
