I had one some years ago. Woke up in the middle of the procedure, saw
the monitor and my innards, thought it was pretty cool, mildly felt
something squirming around inside. Kinda grunted a bit, the doc said.
"I think he woke up, better give him a bit more" to the nurse. I
actually was kinda excited to see what was going on but it only lasted
about 3 seconds. It's funny, I can remember that very clearly but can't
remember anything for hour or two after, my wife was driving me home and
at one point told me I had asked her the same question 3 times already.
I do remember her saying that but not what the question was. I do
remember the doc coming after and explaining the whole thing, but
couldn't remember a word of what he told me. Later on I asked wifey
what he had said, she asked if I couldn't remember, and try as I might I
could not remember anything about what he said other than he said something.

I have to prep starting on Sunday. He said I could wait until Monday morning,
but I am off all that week so I figure I'll start a little bit ahead so I'm
nice and clean inside. I was asking about his ADR percentage, which he said
was in the high teens. He prefaced it by stating that this measurement can be
skewed by patients who don't prep properly or with enough time, so it's not an
absolute when you come to comparing doctors.
In fact, he said that it's not beyond him to start and see that someone hasn't prepped well and
stop the procedure, something he said that other doctors might not do. He said that he's had more
than one patient who he has told to reschedule the procedure if they're not "clean"
because they "cheated" when it came to the prep.
I picked this guy carefully. I wanted someone who had privileges at Tampa
General, the leading teaching hospital in the area. In the part of town I live
in, all the local practitioners go to a smaller suburban hospital that has a
less than stellar reputation. He only schedules two patients an hour, so I had
a good 20 minutes (or more if I wanted it) to speak with him.

That works.
I set it up for the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I figure that will
give me lots of room for Thanksgiving gluttony.
I've been through it and found it not too bad. Some people have problems
with the prep.
