Been there, had that done (wimped out and asked for a general anesthetic).

I just got done going thru somthing very similer to thiss.. What would happen is that i would eat and i would get extremly bloated, and my appetite would be dead for like most of the day. Id wake up with a beer belly and over the day it would go down some... It wasnt pleasent at all... It took me about 5 months to get over it... But i dont know, it mighta been stress from starting college, but i dont think im that susceptible to stress.. but good look!

Absolutely no personal experience of this but I hope it turns out well for you.

When I was in the Military, I had my first sigmoidoscopy. There was no option of general anesthetic. :nope:

Well in the Military you are a piece of meat. So there I was no Sh.. Well literally none as I had this tube up my rear.

I was in a kneeling position with my butt high and my head low, while this doctor was raping me with 100' of 5" fire hose. I swear that this doctor graduated from Roto Rooter. :stare:

Then the class walks in.. :o:o:o

A group of young female technicians (18-24) attending class came in to observe. Talk about complete humilation :o:o:o

No privacy, no dignity, all of a sudden I was a "teaching aid".

Just me, my anus, and about 5000 feet of steel cable. and yes, I was facing the class all through this.

Probably the most humiliation I have ever had.

Ahh the good ole days in the military... boy they sucked!

I'm so going to hell for laughing at this.

Sorry, Plat.

Oh laugh away. It was a "hallmark" moment.

I am just glad they did not take any pictures. :o

I think it's SOP for military doctors/hospitals to do something to every single EM who's in their care - probably to dissuade return visits. I think it works.

What really stunk was that most of them were pretty cute, but I don't think I was at my best for first impressions. :-?

Sorry but........LOL :DL

It was almost 20 years ago so I can laugh about it too. :03:
