Tough way to lose weight Bit of advice; Find a doctor with small hands to do your initial exams preferably a woman, you will thank me later

Just a reminder to get it checked after 50.
I go tomorrow for my first , been “prepping” all day. Which means starving yourself and so far 12 trips to the bathroom. 🚽 Don't put it off. I did until I was 62. Finally had my first, they found colon cancer. That began 5 years of surgeries, hospital stays, home bound nursing, nutrition from an IV for months and many, many trips to the ER. I about have it licked now but I sure wish I had started the colonoscopy tests a dozen years earlier. I hope you have a clean bill of health from yours.

After the prep, the worst is all behind you.
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

Colon and prostrate exams. The joys of growing older. It's funny, my new doc doesn't do prostate exams. He does check my PSA and said that as long as your stream is good, there's no need to check. Also, since we have no history of colon cancer in the family he recommended the Cologuard. it was super easy and not intrusive.

The reason i posted, is after talking to many of my friends the same age, they have not done it and aren’t planning on it. My grandfather died at 67 from colon cancer otherwise I probably would have put it off too.

I had my first at 48 due to family history. My brother is 6 years older and they found all kinds of polyps and chit in him. I didn't have anything cancerous, but the doc considered it a big time success story cuz it was right around the corner. Now I'm also on the 3 year plan, which is kinda chitty.

A friend of mine was on the 10 year plan. Three years into the 10, and he had gut problems. They opened him up, took a look and closed him back up. He lasted about 2 years. Get looked at.

Because of exposure to Agent Orange the VA has me the annual trip ticket to the examroom. After the first couple of times it becomes just another day of getting old.

I've had 3 in ten years. Find a polyp every time that has to come out. Better than the alternative I guess.
Pro-tip.. when they restrict you to clear liquids for 24-hours, don't kick the chicken broth up a notch with a shake or two of Tabasco. Trust me on this.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

Cologuard. Simple and easy. Does not take out polyps that eventually grow into tumors. Trust me on this, you never want them to become tumors, and the general anesthesia is worth the prep. Get this done at 45!

Just a reminder to get it checked after 50. 🚽 Then every 5 years at least, and your doc may want you to do it more often.
