I am at our local hospital waiting while my husband has his colonoscopy. It started a little later than expected so I will be here a while yet. Hopefully it will be all good news and we can head out for a bite to eat he hasn't had any food since 9 am yesterday.

Oh he shouldn´t be too long in there Belle hopefully.
He will be glad to get a bite to eat afterwards.

We didn't get hope until 4 p.m. and I made us ham and cheese sandwiches. We were both starved.

It is not a bad idea to have at least one, if there are no issues and you don't have any family history of issues well then one might be enough.

The result of the colonoscopy will be good.If your husband had not eaten since 9,definitely he will be hungry.

Surprisingly, he wasn't ravenous, I think the anesthesia killed his appetite.

The prep is the worst part. My husband also had polyps found and removed. That means he has to go back 5 years later. I got a clean bill of health so don't have to go back for 10 years... of course that was almost 5 years ago already.

@BelleStarr And do you have to pay for this... or is it covered under your insurance?

Here if you have polyps it is back in two years and regular visits are every 5 years.

Hope all turns out just great and life can carry on for you two. My husband had that procedure as well- a few years ago.

We have a few more tests this week but so far all the news has been good so we are encouraged.

@BelleStarr Some tests can almost get scarier than the proposed problem- so hope it all goes smoothly!

That is always one thing I find interesting is the amount of time they want you to wait in between the time you eat something, etc. Even for people who are Diabetic. I guess they always continue to think everything will be OK letting someone go without eating for so long. But here's hoping everything came out OK

When you are getting anesthesia, the danger is aspiration of anything that is in your stomach so I do understand why they do it.

He had a good outcome and we ended up at home having sandwiches but that was just fine.
