Good luck!  Don t worry I'm sure everything will be fine.  You are right, the drinking the liquid is the worse.  Keep us posted. 🙏

I concur the prep is worse than the actual test.

Good luck, but I'm sure everything will be ok. But I know the day before is really miserable. I have had to have one a few years back and it was a miserable day before the procedure.

I haven't had one for a long time, but it was really no big deal. The last time they let me watch the whole thing on a TV screen as the probe journeyed down a long pink tunnel.

I've experienced worse things.  Drinking the gallon of liquid is the hardest.  The first one I had I could watch the monitor while they did the colonoscopy. The second time I was out for the whole thing.  You'll be fine and I hope you have a good report.
