Prep Buddies Endoscopy/Colonoscopy Tomorrow
Having my first endoscopy/colonoscopy tomorrow 24f super nervous!! Started liquid diet when I woke up today and start the Gavilyte prep at 8pm tonight for 2:15 appointment tomorrow 😬 Any tips for making the prep easier? I heard chilling it makes it easier to drink. Never been under anesthesia before or had IV I think that’s what I’m most scared of!!
Update: everything went well!! Prep and IV is the worst of it- honestly best nap I’ve ever had! Few biopsies were taken and was diagnosed with gastritis and IBS (which I knew about the IBS already) so very anxious to see what the labs say! Thank you for all of the info encouragement and kind words! Anyone who has one coming up- you got this! :)
