I have had a colonoscopy to check and apart from being a bit uncomfortable no problems with meds.

Thanks so much. I guess next year, maybe I will have it, or if the results from Cologuard come back I might have to have it anyway. Glad your meds were okay.

I had one a year ago and I also didn't have any problems with my medication. Safe procedure to get. I didn't take the sedation and had no problem at all and as you say more accurate.

Thanks so much. I was scared it would mess up my levels. Glad you were okay.

I had one done last year. Because of my BP I was under sedation. Everything went ok

Glad everything went well for you. :)
