I’m only 32. Is it really that early?
Goddammit so true…I just had my first colonoscopy today 😬
Fuck you, I’ve still got 7 or 8 years left.
If she doesn’t fuck with little foot then she’s too young for you
Jokes on you, I’m 40 and I’ve had 5 of them already.
High risk or just like the experience?
No tf it is not lol, I’m still in college
You can be in college and still be over 40.
Yep, yep, RIP
Just FYI for anyone that is wondering about colonoscopies:
So get a colonoscopy. Got mine at 45, it was absolutely NBD. They give good knockout drugs if you like, you have a nice nap and that’s it. Even the laxative is a non-event (I got a doc that prescribed miralax and sports drink combo, some of the prescribed liquids are gross) and was super easy. The worst thing about it was being hungry and wanting a cup of coffee because you can’t eat before the procedure.
Tried to get one at 42 - they required a cola-guard screening first. Requested a cola-guard screening and insurance didn’t cover it until 45. Tried to manually buy one - couple thousand dollars. So basically you can’t start getting screened until 45.

That sucks. If you have any family history of polyps or colon cancer it might be worth trying again specifically mentioning those things if you have that option.

Hey OP, did you know that the voice of Ducky was a little girl named Judith Barsi? Did you know that Judith also voiced the little girl character, Anne-Marie, in All Dog Go To Heaven? And did you know that Judith Barsi was brutally murdered along with her mother by her father who then killed himself? And did you know that this murder happened between her lines being recorded and the release of either of these films? So when you fell in love with a little duck billed dinosaur saying “Yepyepyep” and a little orphan girl who talks to animals, you were listening to the echos of a voice of a murdered 10 year old girl.
Why did I bring this up, OP? Because you made me sad, so I’mma make you sad too.
RIP Judith
Even more fun, she was sexually assaulted by her father multiple times. Police were involved because of the constant abuse. It fucked with her psychologically, and her mother kept hesitating to take action
What a tasteless comment.

OP didn’t mean to make us sad :(
Wtf dude, I could have gone my whole life not knowing this. I hope your socks get wet.
Oh for fucks sake just kill them, no need to be unduly mean about it and pull unforgivable acts of torture.
Damn the post calls people old and they need to see a doctor for butt stuff. And this response is to horrify and amaze.
“How dare this stranger bring up my slightly advanced age! Here’s a child that was brutally murdered. Now we’re even!”
Goddamn.
I respect the brutality, if nothing else
You’re not my dad!
Because he died of colon cancer!
For anyone wondering, this is the rain scene from Sausage Party (2016) when the chocolate eclair tries weed for the first time.
Get out of here you lying heathen!
What did I do to you to deserve this aggression on such a nice morning?
OP is just looking after your health is all
I don’t need one for well over 10 years. This movie ain’t that old (released 1988)
Everyone knows you can only watch a movie on release and never after that point.
Even then, it’s only 36 years old! Most people don’t get their colonoscopy until they’re 45 or 50. 40 if they’re more at risk.
Am 38 and my friend just got his first one. They’re recommending them younger now, 40-45.
No, actually they recommended colorectal screening at 45, which includes blood tests, stool DNA, and stool tests. If those are abnormal, then you go visual.
So basically you don’t need a colonocopy, nor is it recommended, unless something is unusual in the blood/stool or you are high risk.
Good to know, thanks! I haven’t had that chat with my doctor yet.
Makes sense. I probably should too. Kind of been hoping for years that they would find something a little less… Invasive by this point lol
As long as you aren’t high risk, the brand in the US is Cologuard. Shit in a box and they mail it to a lab.
Yes, blood and stool tests are not only just as effective for screening, they are they recommended tests.
I don’t know why but I saw colonoscopy and immediately thought i read prostate exam instead
Turns out they changed the suggestion for that too! Start with blood tests and go from there.
Sharptooth!
