In Hindsight
Perhaps my last meal of beans and cornbread before the Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy tomorrow was a mistake.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Not for you, but for the person who decided to specialize in such things, I’m guessing.

I guess that depends on how long it takes you to, erm, “clear the chamber.”

You should be ok. Food clears out of the stomach within 6-8 hours. If they think there’s still food there and there’s danger of regurgitation and aspiration they just won’t do it. Don’t get your bowels in an uproar 😉 worrying about it.

Don’t worry. It will all work out in the end.

good luck to you. I’ve got a PET in the morning my ownself.

It is written that a great Persian monarch once charged his wise men to give him a wisdom which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.
They presented to him the words: “And this,too,shall pass.”
Sometimes though, with cornbread and soup beans, the process of the passing can be… unpleasant.

Oh the passing is as pleasant as can be. I meant the gas.

Still having the digestive issues?

Hope everything comes out alright.

IIRC, the prep reads “Nothing by mouth after midnight.”
(Or was that for the other end?)
Hoping everything turns out normal.

Nah, if you feel something uncomfortable, let out some stink!
I do the same thing with the TSA!

Just think of the upside of the entire event. The goal, when finished is to prove that you are a perfect
***hole. If in fact this is not the case, they will work diligently (snipping & clipping) to MAKE you a perfect ***hole!

Ever wonder why they’re so particular about those preps for colonoscopy? There was an Ignobel for that a couple years ago. In da Yerp, they let one slide, then used that little sparker to go after a polyp. The patient exploded. I, for one, am all done complaining.

Having had my first colonscopy just a few months ago, I find that whatever was eaten before the “cleansing” made no difference whatsoever, because it ALL came out within hours of a couple of pills and the delicious flushing beverages I was told to take the day before.
WHOOSH!

Good luck with the ‘scope. They aren’t fun, but hopefully can help get things sorted out for you. Prayers headed your way!
