Glad you are ok!

Thanks for putting a smile on my face💕

It's the best nap I've ever had!

Great advise you would be (?) surprised by how many of my family and friends had relaxed their mammograms until mine caught a (small) cancer 18 mons ago, my sister was one, this yr she found an aggressive tumor thank goodness she had restarted screening

A humorous look at a serious topic. Those bots can drive you a bit crazy sometimes.

Funny! A friend of mine did ALL the prep and they canceled on him. So had to do prep again a few days later. How crappy is that?

Great read!😂

Thanks so much for posting this! A colonoscopy probably saved my life! So get out there and just do it!

I love all of these!!

One of my colonoscopies got me my only tattoo!!! It marked a questionable spot, but all is good. I love that you are encouraging people to do this. The warm blankets are worth it!😉❤️

I'm due for one and going to schedule tomorrow. I do remember the prep was worse than the procedure. I'm not sure I will get a bot to chat with!

I feel cheated I didn't get bum bot texts!! I got my first one last December and it really wasn't as bad as people think. If you're lucky like me you'll have a Dr that recommends the dulcolax/Miralax combo and not the awful tasting gunk!

Copy that!!

Did one conventional and two Cologuards. Those are the home tests where you get to play scientist with your own poo. It comes complete with test tubes, containers, and everything. Either way, it's good to belong to the "passed the colonoscopy club."

Funny! But seriously, the prep is the worst part. And, so you are uncomfortable for one day. It could save your life!!! My dad had one cancerous polyp. Fortunately, it was only in the polyp, and hadn’t gone into my dad’s colon, but 6 months later, and the story would have been so much worse!!!!!

Did they find Jimmy Hoffa? 🙂

Lucky you having the Bum Bot. Too funny. Just had mine 3 months ago…no bum bot. Haha

Thank you for this. I, too, was a colonoscopy procrastinator. I finally gave in...ended up having to have part of my colon removed (no more two piece swim suits for this girl). Too many polyps, none were malignant...Thank you, Jesus! I'm not due back for three to five years, depending on what the colon crew decides is the new dateline.

Ten years ago at 70 yrs old My husband had a colonoscopy, everything was fine. They say get a colonoscopy every ten years. Fast forward eight yrs and while having a checkup he was told he could get a colonoscopy if he wanted too. He has a rare tumor in stage three. He is not eligible for surgery because of pulmonary hypertension. Will try Immunotherapy.

No bum bot for me but the prep really is the worst part of the entire process

A one day prep did not work for me...SO...then they gave me a TWO day prep !! That is what I will need the next time as well !! NOT fun !!

Prep was horrible, procedure was a breeze.

Yes!! And if you want to double over in laughter you MUST read the column by Dave Barry about colonoscopies!!! Came out in 2008 yet still very relevant.

I got mine at Penn Medicine Radnor. They didn’t have Bum Bot then! WHAAA. Dh is getting his on Tuesday. He is at the avoiding fiber stage right now.

I go every five years since we have a family history. My mom‘s father passed away of colon cancer and so did my great grandma. You made it sound funny but the prep is the absolute worst! When I had my consultation, they actually gave me the prep and I was glad I have to do what you did. The day before it’s chicken soup and Jell-O and Gatorade and I know you’re not allowed to have anything that is red. My husband always takes me. I’m doing it over Christmas week since I am off that whole week. I know your article was funny but people have to take this seriously and they do need to do the screening after age 50. I’ve been doing it before age 50 because of my family history of colon cancer.your doctors office is nobody text me to see if I’m what I should be doing. TMI people you might want to sleep with. Depends if you can’t sleep or put a towel on your bed. Most of the time you’re in the toilet anyway.
