I am only 32 but I am definitely doing this when (if) I am 45. Appreciation all around for this funny moment of education.

I bet you can count them. #hyperbole

💖💖

I do wish that insurance co's would be lobbied to pay for colonoscopies in between 5 years. They will only pay for one colonoscopy every 5 years. If you want one before that, the individual has to pay for it.

I wish you great health and a long life with your daughters 🤗

How old are you?

Sending you good vibes for continued good health . . .

did you have any symptoms before you had the procedure?

You could have chosen to not reproduce and let your unborn children stay free in a state of non-existence. Now your daughters will have to suffer all the hardships of life including death.

Was that your first time?

@@dirkdiggler2695 Well, they said finally. So I'm guessing...yes! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very few polyps become cancerous. You must decide the odds of any medical mistakes vs. your odds of getting cancer.

@@guruofendtimes819 Same as saying don't have a chest X-ray because most of them don't find a problem, or don't buy auto insurance because most people never have a car crash. Perhaps you could list for us any medical screening procedures that you do approve of. If any.

Prep is five days but whatever, I agree with you still

@@Desmondbrown73 There are different kinds of preps (not sure why). Mine was ~12 hours of evening/sleep/morning. Maybe 24 hours, I don't recall if there were eating restrictions before starting the cocktail. Even the drink wasn't bad at all.

So young... I'm truly sorry for the loss of your son 💕

@@Desmondbrown73 you have to adjust your diet 5 days prior, but actual prep is 12 hours or so.

Sorry for the loss of your son. I can't imagine.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss 😔

Same thing happened to my mother 12 years ago. So yes I normally get really upset with the C word even being said. So thank you for sharing and sorry you lost your mother to this.

@@JdeeReadings I’m sorry for your loss as well. But I’m grateful these two are shedding light on just how simple it is to catch it early 🙏🏼

@@trick351 Yes me too, it's horrible and it happened so quick, she got her diagnosis and in 6 months gone, despite having her colonoscopy within the first month of diagnosis. It is rough. I was glad my dad had his exam for it. So far so good for him.

I had one. The cleanse routine had me throwing up. My blood pressure is usually low, so they weren’t going to do the procedure when they found it was 98/50. I told them come back and take it again in a minute. I got it up to 128/60-anger. I woke up during the procedure to a terrible pain in my left side. I yelled and they put me under again. United Healthcare had approved the procedure, and then wouldn’t pay for it. So, I haven’t had another. All that, and the fact that I am now all alone, widow and now childless.No one to take me or bring me home.

@@sophierobinson2738 Hi, there are support groups in some churches (some are specifically Women Ministries).

If there is, one of then might accompany you. God bless. 🙏🏼

@@karlhungus5554 just reported and they are both gone. Thanks again!

@@melodythemassagetherapist6957 FYI they are still there. Reporting a comment only removes it for you, unless YoutTube decides they are in violation and then removes it.

@@OptimusGPrime ohhhhh bummer!!!! Yep they are still there, again!!! Weird how they did disappear for a while!!! Thanks so much for telling me!!! Yikes, so sorry I tend to use way too many exclamation points!!! Take care! 😎

Hope you are doing well. You are so young, thankful you found it early. ❤

Get it done my man!! Keep it regular and good news will keep coming!!

word of advice, try to eat healthier. Less grains, less sugar, less of all sugar types, less vegetable oils. less bread, even less fibre rich bread, less fibre, less fruits, less vegetables. Buttered bacon is magic.

I mean it's worth acknowledging that the doctor said that diet doesn't particularly matter for preventing polyps. Some people are just more prone to getting them.

@@geson86 "Buttered bacon" - even if that did help against colon cancer, you'd be switching cancer against all sorts of heart diseases 😄.

My mother discovered her diverticulitis in her late 60s when one burst. She struggled with weight gain, hernias and surgeries that made the last 15 years of her life miserable. It's very likely that starting regular colonoscopies earlier might have prevented immeasurable pain.

They typically use propofol for sedation, and yes it's fast, and it feels like the most restful sleep ever.

It's not strong, what it actually does is just prevent you from forming memories. You just don't remember what they did. You can't be too out of it as they may need you to move around.

@@louisrios5546 AKA a "roofie"

I had the same experience out in seconds and awake with my wife in the other room seconds later. It was a trip but very simple after the prep work is done.

Yup, they use the "milk of amnesia". Gotta love it. Well, unless you really* love it and end up dead like MJ.

A PSA within a PSA. That makes it like, 16 PSA 's

If there's one thing you want to do, it's follow the directions for the prep closely. You don't want to do a half-assed job and have the doctor's visibility reduced. Due to family history, I have them every five years and as of last month I have three under my belt.

Half assed. 😂😂😂

@@luurchify I see what you did, there. If you hadn't, I would've.

Also - Got to ask the question that is on everyone's - - er - - _mind_ : just what is involved with this prep/clean-out? Apparently, my work is doing some sort of charity probing event and I have been volunteered. I mean, I do homebrew beer, so I've got a bottle brush, but I don't know how far up they go. Do I need and extension rod?

I’m gonna remember that one when I go in. 😂😂😂

@@CreativeIsolation Well, when THEY go in perhaps.

Very few polyps become cancerous. You must decide the odds of any medical mistakes vs. your odds of getting cancer.

@@guruofendtimes819 You should always be aware of risks and consider what's best for you... however, only 1.6% of colonoscopies result in complications, and about 0.5% of complications are fatal which is approximately 0.00008%. ~4% of people will develop colon cancer in their life. The overall survival rate (including with early detection) is about 65%, which increases to 90% for those whose cancer is detected early. You do you, but I think the numbers speak for themselves, especially with a history of Colon cancer in my family. It would seem to me to be a far better choice for most people to follow the advice of their doctors and the medical community at large, and get a colonoscopy in their 40's, and a follow-up every decade or so... Even if some random dude on the internet, likely with no qualifications, tries to scare them off from making wise choices.

@@Tym79 oh but he is a Guru... Right? 🤔 He must know all sorts about modern medicine 😂

I agree on the prep side - that stuff can be brutal. (Part of me wishes the guys had done a video complete with the prep & their candid reactions to it!)

It must be nice to have coin, connections, clout, communities, opportunities... and health insurance. 🙂

So basically what you're saying Ryan is, they went right up Main Street?

@@Novastar.SaberCombat Public health insurance or otherwise free medicare for important treatments should be a human right. Period.

Exactly the same as my mother…I’m sorry for your loss:(

Until a couple of years ago, the recommended age was 50 for the first one (every ten years after that if nothing was spotted), but since so many young people were being diagnosed with and dying from colorectal cancer, the ACS changed the recommendation to 45.

They've apparently changed the recommended age to start screening, because it used to be 50 yrs old.

@@rosemorris7912 oops! Just saw your comment!

Thank you for telling us - people need to understand how serious, and how asymptomatic colon cancer can be.

Unfortunately most people wait until they have noticeable symptoms that disrupt their lives. I’m wondering what made you get tested for cancer so young.

Your description made me snort! 100% accurate though.

I turn 45 in December & know what I’ll be doing week after my bday

@@KBWeeds as you should 🖤

Then you need the test. Many do not.

@@guruofendtimes819 You put your disinformation comments all over this video. Why are you trying to kill people?

@@davidcovington901 Cancerous Polyps: Overview, Definition & Treatment - Cleveland Clinic Most polyps are benign (not cancerous). Your doctor can tell if a colon polyp is cancerous during a colonoscopy by collecting tissue to biopsy. The results of the biopsy are typically sent to your doctor within a week. Only 5% to 10% of all polyps become cancerous. How long does it take for a polyp to turn into cancer? You have been fooled by this information. Why don't you get checked for lung cancer pancreatic cancer liver cancer while you're at it

Really helpful comment, sir!

Message me if you're my super fan 👆👆👆💌

Yeah, I had that too. I was having some digestive troubles and since I had to have the colonoscopy anyway, while they were at it, they went in from both ends. I had a couple of tiny polyps removed and everything else was fine.

Thanks for your love and support to Ryan and Rob awareness campaign

Not on the NHS my guy, all free

That shouldn’t stop anyone from doing the screening though! Better to find something early if you can. Would be nice if insurers covered it if it starts as screening and they find something though, instead of making it diagnostic and charging for it. I mean really, does that seem fair? I’ll bet some people put it off because they are afraid that there will be a polyp and then they will have to pay for the procedure.

Thanks for your love and support as a huge fan of Ryan and Rob awareness campaign...

May I ask did you have symptoms?

@@pepsiwepsi1952 Hi, hope you don't mind me popping into this convo to give you my symptoms. No one in my huge amount of blood relatives, alive and passed, had colorectal cancer. I was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer last year at the age of 42. I started having noticeable small amounts of blood in my stool and or on toilet paper in 2017. It was every 3 to 4 months. Took the at home blood in stool test. It came back negative. I also started having diahrea, change in bowel habits. Then towards the end of 2020 I became anemic. Noticed blood about once a month and bowel movements were 4 to 6 times a day. In 2021 I couldn't leave the house because I needed to be near a toilet. Anemia was very bad. Also had gassy rumbling in rectum area, if that makes sense. Especially when waking up in morning. Also, as soon as I woke up in the morning I had to go. Finally had a colonoscopy in August 2021 and surgery in September 2021. Couple weeks before surgery I started having the ribbon like stools. If you're asking because you're having symptoms, don't wait like I did. I was very lucky that it was only stage 2 after having symptoms for so long. Colonoscopy, and switching doctors to take me and my symptoms seriously, saved my life. Talk to your doctor if you're having any symptoms or concerns.

The goal is to see the wellbeing of the survival of the human species... Thanks for your support as a huge fan of Ryan and Rob...

I threw up after the last glass of horrible stuff. There was no way that I was going to reschedule and go through that again. To add insult to injury, United Healthcare, after approving the procedure, didn’t pay. Something about the doctor was in network but where he did it wasn’t. It wasn’t done in the hospital part of the huge building.

Bet they were on the phone with each other seeing whose prep kicked in first if they're that competitive 🤣

The prep was horrible, so much so that I cried when I had to slug the second dose of it. I also had issues when I woke up. It took four hours to do the procedure because of an undiagnosed hernia, and when I regained consciousness, I had enough nausea and pain to light up a mid-sized city. But I will do it again in three years because they did find some polyps.

@@rosemorris7912 Pardon my curiosity, you don't have to answer, but what happens when you have an undiagnosed hernia? Did it prevent you from falling asleep before the procedure? Just wondering because I have several disc hernias and I have to sleep in a very particular position to avoid any pain. I can't imagine how I would be able to have any kind of medical procedure if I had to lie down in a hospital. I'm supposed to do a colonoscopy soon.
