Then following year I was clean, given a 3 year pass and if clean this time, should get a 5 year pass. I encourage everyone to get this procedure done at age 50 and earlier if you have a family history. It is just foolhardy and reckless not to. Its no big deal, the prep the night before is the only bad part. Stake your claim to the toilet and get a book to read.
Jason this is excellent advise. I also have had several colonoscopys. My dad died from colorectal cancer and sadly, it could have been found at an early treatable time had he had this procedure.

I had a colonoscopy and 2 ambulatory surgeries last year b4 I was had my sleep tests and the osa diagnosis and all went well. They monitored my o2 levels but now I would advise them I was on a cpap just so they would be aware
