Ok, so I'm still trying to get through this colonscopy prep, and I'm really having a rough go of it. I took the Fleet at 6:30pm and was still going to the bathroom around 4:00am. I got so nauseous I couldnt' get down the second laxative (citro-mag) and now it's just two hours before my procedure and I'm not clear yet (sorry for the grossness).
I don't know what to do! I don't want to have gone through all this for nothing, but it just keeps coming and doesn't show any signs of clearing up.
I called the doctor and she said to come in anyways and they'd try it, but still, I'm totally nervous.
Anyone have any suggestsions? Thanks, Kelly

When I do the prep for a colonoscopy, I am ALWAYS going to the bathroom right up until they wheel me into the procedure room...

I was still going to the bathroom until i got to the doc's office. i only drank half of the fleet phospho soda that I was supposed to and it was still fine. You don't have to be completely clear, they can still do it. Good luck!!!

Kelly, I don't want to give you any kind of medical advice; I'm not qualified. But I know where you're coming from. To be perfectly honest (don't tell anyone), I didn't take my last dose of laxative either. I just couldn't get it down me. Besides, by that point the only thing coming out of me was water.
You're good to go, Girlfriend. Just go in at the scheduled time, like the doctor's office said. It's in about a half hour from now, right? They'll give you those great drugs and you'll be knocked out before you can count to 10. You'll catch up on all that last sleep last night. Oh yeah. Enjoy!

Kelly, I had one of those last fall, wasn't totally cleaned out either but they did do the test. It showed nothing. They also did an stomach scope too. Nothing. Good Luck!
