I am 58, I've had two colonoscopys. The first one found the start of some polyps, the second one was OK. Getting ready for the proceedure is the worst part - drinking all that crap, and then all the crap! But it's worth it! I was a little put off by your message at first - but I realize why you did it - it got my attention! And I hope it will get the attention of some of the other guys on this forum who are over 50 years of age. Thanks Waldig!
