I wonder I feel large. Look at this picture taken yesterday at the beach. In 6'3" and 325lb. Everyone keeps telling my I carry my weight well. I'm calling BS! Ain't no way I can look like this and carry my weight well. Even my wife is behind me now on getting it done.

Got a call yesterday for my first nut appt for next Tuesday. Man do they want to get the ball rolling fast. I was able to tag the EGD onto my colonoscopy that I already had scheduled for August 15th. I have Coventry and they only require 3 months of dr supervised diet. I guess my first appt with the dr was the start date for that right? And that was last week. I am really excited.

As a medical technologist please do not confuse a phlebotomist with a medical technologist. I perform the tests and deal with the instruments. I am certified in my field and hold a BS in my field.
That being said those questions that the phlebotomist asked you were inappropriate as a medical provider and should be brought up with the lab manager or director so that this person can be educated on what is appropriate so that he/she does not ask the same questions to the next person. No medical personnel should express their feelings about a procedure unless it's your dr.
I'm sorry you had to deal with this unprofessionalism.

I had my first colonoscopy 4 months ago. Found some blood in my stool and I stopped having solid stools. Just soft. The week I was to have it done I was feeling better and almost canceled. I'm glad I did not. I had 39 polyps. Doc said I was about 2 years away from some serious crap! I'm only 37. I thought I had an ulcer. And now I am on the 6 month cycle. Two good things came of this. I feel better plus I met my out of pocket max for the year and if I can get bariatric surgery done before jan 1 it's free!

My first dr.s appt is in 10 minutes do I will see how it goes. But getting a colonoscopy is really easy. Change into the hospital gown. Lay on the bed. Get an iv. Say hi to the doc. And sleep. There was no awkwardness of positioning or anything. Very professional. The worst part is the prep. I'm sure just like bariatric surgery
I'm sorry if this is off the original topic. The occult blood is very non invasive screen and worth it.
