The prep is clear liquids, then drink this not so great tasting stuff to finish cleaning your system out and lots of time on the toilet. When you go in, they place an IV line so they can sedate you after they give you an enema (take as much as you can stand and hold it for as long as you can stand it before expelling it). Then, they take you into the procedure room, sedate you, and essentially stick a tiny camera up your poop chute looking for any abnormalities. Sometimes they will go ahead and remove any polyps they see while they are in there.

It is usually recommended beginning at at 50 unless you have a family history of colon cancer.


I think I covered it all.
