Today, I had to get a colonoscopy. Which wouldn't have been so bad if they had removed the camera from my rectum before waking me up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, because of my life situation, I was told I'll have to have a colonoscopy without anesthesia. FML
Today, after following the directions and drinking a gallon of what can only be described as an industrial strength laxative for a scheduled colonoscopy. I shit my brains out for nearly 12 hours. The hospital then called and canceled my procedure an hour before my arrival time. FML
Today, at the age of 25, for the first time in my life, I was lying mostly naked in front of a man while he was inserting something in my body. Too bad that man was a doctor and that thing was a colonoscopy. FML
Today, my colon got perforated during a routine colonoscopy. Apparently, it's a rare complication and I have no legal recourse. So now I'll need to use a colostomy bag for the next 6 months until I can get surgery to fix their mistake. FML
Today, I found out that since no other procedures are working, I was required to stop eating, and drink a bunch of foul tasting "goo", which will in turn give me constant diarrhea. This will then prepare me nicely for the long tube with a camera on the end of which will be shoved up my rectum. FML
Today, after fasting for 24 hours and drinking 2 buckets of laxatives, my doctor's office notified me that my colonoscopy had been cancelled. I'd just finished the prep by taking the fart pills, and now have the cleanest colon ever. A lot of time spent on the toilet that I’ll never get back though. FML
Today, I'm in the hospital getting prepped for a colonoscopy. Accidents happen, but the worst was right after the janitor finished cleaning the aftermath of the LAST accident. FML
Today, I got my colonoscopy results back. I had hoped they'd show what's been causing my stomach pains for the last few weeks, but instead it turns out that my colon is healthy and normal. I basically got cornholed for no goddamn reason. FML
Today, I was informed by my proctologist that my colonoscopy has been rescheduled for my birthday. FML
Today, my husband had a colonoscopy. Having spent yesterday hearing him complain about having only clear liquids and having to drink the required solution, he still was not cleaned out. We have to reschedule with two days of clear liquids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Rectum? I hardly knew 'em!!" On a more sensible note - that sucks, hopefully they removed it pretty quickly after you made them aware of it.

Not necessarily 45. People react to sedation differently and the medication is supposed to make you groggy and unaware. But that doesn't mean that a person can't be awake for most of it, or wake up at different times. My meds interfere with the sedation and I am 100% awake. So not necessarily a mistake, more that bodies react differently to those meds. My mom was groggy, but aware of what was going on for hers. Many people also don't use sedation at all.

I feel ya. I woke up n the middle of mine becuz a med I was on for chronic pain attached t the same receptors as the knock u out drugs they give u and can u say out waking up t them burning and cutting away n when u start screaming they just hold u down n continue while some other nurse tries t figure out how t knock u out again :/

27. They must've been taking a biopsy if they were "burning and cutting away." I have chronic pain and take meds for that too and have the same problem. They interfere with the sedation and I am completely awake for it. I had an endoscopy (down the throat into the stomach) and was 100% awake. That was pretty terrifying. They also injected Botox into my pylorus and it was burning and painful. If I have to go back for another scope I will be sure to tell my GI ahead of time that my meds interfere with the sedation and ask them to speak with a anesthesiologist before hand. I suggest you do the same if you're still on your meds.

"Which wouldn't have been so bad"? Not quite sure how enjoyable a normal colonoscopy is supposed to be even without a camera stuck up your bum.

That sucks, I woke up early as well during my procedure so I can feel your pain. It definitely puts a cramp in your style for the day.
