My grandpa died when my dad was 17 from colon cancer. I take it serious.

I was talking to my doc about elk hunting (he drew a killer tag that year) and next thing I remember waking up on the table wondering where hell am I?

My uncle died of colon cancer so at 60 I have had 2. The prep is really the worst. The procedure is nothing. I had the upper endoscopy done at the same time on the last one, so I asked her to do the mouth first!

Same here - had pre-cancerous polyps found and removed when I was 27. On the 5 year plan. I had my second one at 32. As I was going under I started singing Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - definitely cracked up the doc and the anesthesiologist.

Is it just me, or does every proctologist have an odd sense of humor ... and a strangely odd extremely fat and elongated finger?!

Had one a few years back, was no big deal.
The funny part was when I woke up, first, and only time I've been put under.
I was laughing and the nurse asked me what was so funny while I was blankly staring at the TV, "the former president being on TV isn't that funny, what are you laughing about?"
I muttered, "I don't remember shit"...which was ironic, considering the prep.

Get them done regularly. I had my first in 2012, and a month later was in the hospital in Spokane missing 8' of my colon and some lymph nodes because of what they found during the scope. The only reason I did it then was we had hit our deductible for the year and the doc says ya what the heck. Not sure were I would be today if it wasn't for that scope. I do them every 3 years now.

Survived. No out-of-body experiences. Except when Mrs hit the curb two different times driving me home in my GMC.

Got one in 2013 because of a situation…. Nothing like filling the stool with raw blood to scare the crap out of you.
Had 7 since and I just got told I can go to 10 years this past month.
Fentynal sucks.

I watched my FIL die a slow, miserable, easily avoidable death because "they're not shoving that up my ass".

My urologist sure did. Had more one-liners than a bar comic. Worst was when he first introduced himself and shook my hand, I noticed he was missing the top half of his right index finger. I must have had a shocked look on my face because he looked at me and said “if you think that’s bad you should see the guy I was working on”. It went downhill from there.
