Got a Endoscopy and Colonoscopy screening scheduled to be done at the same time. Anyone here had both done at the same time? Also getting a Ultrasound of the Gallbladder. I just had an EKG, KUB and Urologist checkup and a head CT. Heart, Kidneys and noggin are OK. Any other tests I should get before surgery just to be sure?

It's actually good your having both at once! Lots of docs don't like doing them at the same time

(Because they can bill more for separate procedures)

Now you only have to prep for 1 procedure,

And get sedated once

I've been avoiding it for way too long.........No biggie once I heard the "sedated" part.

My husband is a PA in the ER, but before that he worked as a tech at an endoscopy center..

I've never had one but he assisted on thousands of procedures so he's seen it all and I used to hear it all.

Might as well get poked and prodded in one visit and get it over with! Good luck to you. Just follow the instructions for prep as you definitely don't want to have to repeat the colonoscopy (for not being completely cleaned out, which happens).

The hell? I didn't get poked, I'm a little upset by this.

easy-peasy had both done at once in 2007 and again in 2012. easiest medical procedures ever. even the prep is not so bad. a bottle of miralax in 64 oz Gatorade. will be harder after sleeve I guess but easy before.

Maybe the next time your bending over at the gym to pick up your weights you can wiggle you ass a bit and things might change for you

Nah, the only person that's ever in the gym at 3am is a chick that looks like she could bench press me at my heaviest weight, no good looking guys or girls there ever, pretty lame.

Nothing to it, just do not let them use the same tube.

Ok, tests are done. Everyone here was dead on with their descriptions. Not only was it a complete non event, everything checked out fine. Actually drinking that crud and going thru the prep part was the crappy (I mean that) part. The scopes were a breeze. Shoulda done it years ago.

Glad to hear it.
