So I turned 50 and followed my doctors advice to go get a screening colonoscopy. They did a phone interview and couldn't believe I didn't take any prescription medication (after getting rid of high blood pressure, Water retention pills, etc.). Got to the procedure room and my BP was 115/60 with a resting heart rate of 56 bpm.

Gastro doctor comes in and goes over the procedure and then tells me "you are in the best condition of a 50 year old I have seen all year!"

If he had only seen me 1 year ago! He would have never said that as I was 130 lbs overweight and couldn't keep my blood pressure under control even with meds.

Gotta love the sleeve!

Awesome !

Wow that is amazing! Good for you

that's great news!

I have a colonoscopy next week. notlookingforwardtoit.

everything was all good with yours?

Thanks all!

Dub...your stats are looking good my man!

Christina....the prep was no fun at all. Drinking the "drano" was awful and so was the result....lol. The procedure itself was kinda like getting the sleeve...hook up the IV, give me drugs, wake up and it was over. Had 5 polyps removed....one sent to the lab...nothing serious. Just if possible pre cancerous I have to do it again in 5 years, otherwise 10 years.
