I was wondering if anyone has had the fun of a colonoscopy after having the band. I'm scheduled to have this experience at the end of the month and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the band or because of the band. I'm supposed to drink 1 1/2 ounces of something (I can't remember the name). Any way, I would appreciate any information any one has. Thanks.

I had my first colonoscopy a few months ago with no problems what so ever....except all the shitting. :biggrin: Good luck Tina...really it's not that bad...I had been putting it off for the last few years, and it was nothing!

Thanks for asking the question. I'm 51 and needing to do the baseline scope myself and have been wondering about having it done now that I have the band.

I will definitely go for being totally knocked out. I'll just sleep longer for my own mental comfort. I can't even go to the dentist without the "laughing gas". I tried it once without and was a nervous wreck. I'm glad this is not overwhelming to everyone. If it was up to me I would want to be put under before I got to the doctor's office. :biggrin:
