I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

@TAB. It really is an easy painless procedure and best of all you are asleep for it all.
But it is a procedure - of your bum - intestines - so people get nervous. But afterwards you wouldn't even know anybody had been near it. if you know what i mean.
What day is yours?

@tab @Former-Member. the anaesthetic is simple. drip in your hand and then you sleep and then you wake up.
It's worrying because it is something you haven't had before. But its all okay.
I'm off to bed now. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Everyone in my family has one every 2 years as a day procedure and I haven't heard of a single problem yet. Apparently the worst bit is the taste of the picoprep.
