hayyyWhat's the longest time you've gone without food and/or water and how was it?
About 15 years ago I got my first colonoscopy and back than the prep was just horrible.
You basically went without food the entire day before, while at the same time take these prep meds that made you shit every hour or so. Good lord it was horrible as hell. If memories serves I was allowed to drink the day before but nothing the day off.
You get dehydrated so fast and it wild how terrible that makes you feel. Add to that, the taking a shit contstantly and almost immediately you are not shitting, it is more like pissing out of your ass.
The prep you have to do now is not that intense and really isnt that big of a deal, comparatively,.
15 years ago is 2011 but you made it sound like 1911.
Besides all that, how would a doctor let you be dehydrated? If oral fluid is off the table, what stopped you from an intravenous one?
How much the process has changed in the last 15 years it may as well have been 1911.
Have you ever been put under a general anesthesia as part of an outpatient procedure?
You are always dehydrated when that starts.
I don’t think I’ve ever been fully anesthetic but I accompanied my relative for a stomach-scope a few years ago. It only involved emptying the stomach the day before and drinking a lot of water. I know the colon is a different organ but just wondering what is wrong with IV.
