Yeah, I figured that was coming. I'll ask my doctor when I see him next month.
This is the DVG forum. We do not tell people how to post here. Go play in the kiddie pool if you don't like it.

Had my first in 2012 or so. Had my 2nd scheduled but my insurance was cancelled, so it waited... until I had another Crohns flare. Finally had it done a few months ago, all set until the next time my GI wants one.

Don't be afraid of them, you get REALLY good drugs and a day or so off work. The prep is the worst part, and it's not as bad as it used to be.
