Tomorrow I go to Kaiser Hospital for a "routine" sigmoidoscopy with and/or Polypectomy. There is probably only a few forum members that have experienced that procedure, Ralph and Jimmy D. For the younger Treasure Hunters it's a medical procedure where a T.V. camera is inserted in a area that you wouldn't think about inserting a camera, if you know where I mean.  Wish me luck, and by the way Ralph and Jimmy just tell me that the exam was very easy and not to worry. OT |

Good luck OT! It's a breeze. A little uncomfortable as you will be half out of it. I don't have to tell you the outcome ;D after you climb off the table and go to get dressed-Doc pumped a lot of air inside to get a good view and he burned off two pollops. Have a good breakfast afterward. I hate fasting! SJWarren |

OT...........
There's nothing to it, be sure to follow the
"clean out directions to the letter"
You'll watch the whole procedure on TV,
at least I did, its very interesting.
Hopefully you wont require the Polypectomy,
which is the removal of a polyp.
Good luck........

Thanks Warren and Ralph, So, what you are telling me is that they are going to pump air into me and then when I'm dismissed from the examination and exit the hospital from the 4th floor down a, I'm sure a crowded elevator, this said gas will be escaping from THAT area?   OT |

Thank goodness for Off Topic forums!! But I guess this is more of an IN thing!! "Doc pumped a lot of air inside " follow the " clean out directions to the letter" "gas will be escaping from THAT area? " A Little too much info for me!! OT at the next family get together: "OK everyone gather around the TV --time to watch "Sigmoidoscopy- OT Style!!" ;D HH Ron (CA) |

Thanks everyone,
You guys have made this pre-exam preparation a lot easier. I will be thinking about all of you when they attempt to insert that Television camera tomorrow at 1:30 PM, I said attempt, because I will be laughing about all of your comments and I'm sure it will make the insertion a little difficult for them.
