Cheesus posted:The most annoying part of the prep was the no-fiber diet. The idea of eating an "American diet" of white bread, cottage cheese, and seemingly junk-food-is-ok was oddly non-trivial for me to pull off. The pre-day laxative prep was not as bad as I expected. I hated the low fibre diet. Everywhere does their prep differently and I had to do five days of the diet. The laxative wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Again, different places use different packs and the one I used was effective without provoking the urgency I'd read about. The doctor scoping me didn't wait until the anaesthetic had taken full effect which was unpleasant, to say the least. I was due for another colonoscopy two years ago but covid halted a lot of the routine screening programmes. My doctor referred my again last year but I still haven't heard from the clinic so I need to vhase it up.

It was pretty chill though. Australian here and I had a general. Mine was done in a hospital. Clinics use sedation, as do hospitals on people who don't clear the general anaesthesia screening.
