Congratulations on a negative colonoscopy!!

Never say never....... your good results today can change at any time down the road. That is why they recommend doing another one whenever your doctor told you.

So your case was completely different than most people who have no prior issues but are told to get a colonoscopy done.

You didn't read my message closely. I went to my new GI doc only for a colonoscopy (my PCP is handling all of my GI issues these days). And I did have an appointment with him before the procedure. Robyn

I insisted on prepopik. The pharmacy didn't carry it so they told me that no insurance would pay for it. I had already checked with my insurance and they did pay for it. It took a day or so but the pharmacy got the prepopik for me. The clean out was made quite easy. Three polyps, all negative.
