Getting my first Colonoscopy tomorrow.
The VA found blood in a sample and now I am getting my first Colonoscopy.

I am just a little worried and nervious, and worried and nervious.

Scared they are going to find something bad.

I'm on the "frequent customer" program these days. I had a colonoscopy at 38 due to some other GI issues, and they found a couple of pre-cancerous polyps. Thankfully, my brother (age 48) did one a while after and was fine.
So they find a polyp up in there they just cut it out or do they have to test then go back in and cut it out later?

Get it right then, and send it to pathology. Depending on specifics, you may need to return in 5 or 3 or 1 years.

If they find anything (which is relatively common), they'll take them out during the colonoscopy and send anything iffy off for a biopsy.

Um, that wouldn't make a lot of sense, would it? Put you under 2x.

They take care of them as they find them. If they find one then you should be back again in 3 years. I think this is because if they find one, they may miss others. However, if they find none, you are good for 5 years.

Enjoy the day prior...

Sometimes they will tattoo the colon so they can find the spot next time.

Finding none is usually 10 year interval if no family history.

Case in point about the age thing: remember that colon cancer is what killed Chadwick Boseman. He was 43.

Interesting note about colonoscopies. They are covered pretty well by insurance if they are for screening (due based on age, not for symptoms)

However, if they find a polyp it is automatically coded as a diagnostic colonoscopy and costs more. I believe Each biopsy is also a specific charge

I THINK that depends on the state. Or at least I paid $0 for mine (in Colorado), which included multiple polyps and biopsies.

Meanwhile, my brother (in Kansas) paid like $1500 for his, which found nothing.

Yeah, the prep is the worst part of it. The give you a medication so you are still awake however you don't really have a memory of anything. I can recall being told to roll over on my side and seeing the monitor (maybe I was dreaming). I was pretty groggy afterwards and definitely needed a ride home.

Honestly, the worst part of it was waking up and seeing all of the doctors pulling their pants up...

Hope it goes well.

that’s why I’m doing it.

My understanding is I could have dangerous polyps up in there and not know it for 3-5 years when I notice blood in stools. Then it’s too late or you’re fighting for your life and doing chemo. Sounds like a scenario I’d like to avoid. Spending a day not far from a toilet sounds like a good trade off.

Yeah....but exactly how much do you figure you'll accomplish in that last 20-25 years anyway?

My wife went to an in network provider, and we found out the anesthesiologist was out of network afterwards. We eventually fought it successfully but their initial bill was triple our payment to the doc
