Between the prep before, and the memory-drug effects afterward, there's no way I can work today.

Hey... I'm due in '22. insurance no longer covers 5 ('17) or 7 ('19)-year intervals.
Regardless of previous findings. Clean or polyps like vineyard grapes. Out of pocket
is right around 2 Grand.

''Medicare covers screening colonoscopies once every 24 months if you’re at high risk for colorectal cancer. If you aren’t at high risk for colorectal cancer, Medicare covers the test once every 120 months, or 48 months after a previous flexible sigmoidoscopy. There’s no minimum age requirement.''

That's 10 years.

Last in 2012.

"High Risk" is not a couple-few benign polyps (in 2012). Apparently.

HIGH RISK is if they're hanging out like a bunch of grapes.

Otherwise, relax and just go with the flow. insurance knows what is best for you.

Or, fork out the big paranoid bucks.

So... what is the standard "prep stuff" in the midwest???

I still want to know what midwest rural people "prep" with.
This time, it was pills (say if you want details). Last time it was the noxious liquid mix.

Meh.

They found (and removed) some polyps. Will send them in for testing.

I'm not sure of the upper-GI, probably sampled some of that too. (EDIT: they did sample -> Testing)
Had both done at once.
They let the GF know results, that I don't remember much about.

We went out to dinner (Italian) afterwards. Home now. Will probably zonk out.

"SuTabs"???... made by the same House Of Horrors as "SuPrep"... the liquid stuff.

After my first time, I told husbear: "make it ICE ICE COLD and DEEP THROAT a drinking
straw". The straw bypasses tastebuds. I wanted to vomit... he had no problem.

My "ride" (Dad) picked me up and then drove me to my car. Husbear got a dinner afterward.

Have a friend who does it with no anesthesia, so he can drive himself both ways.
