Monday Musings: Getting a Colonoscopy

The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

I believe in preventative health and today I am discussing my experience getting my first colonoscopy at the age of 52. The recommended age for colonoscopies is now 45 instead of 50. I think many people put it off because they don’t know what is going to happen, so I’m going into detail (without sharing TMI) so you can feel prepared. I put my colonoscopy off for too long because I didn’t have enough information, so I wanted to share what I know based on what I went through in case it helps you. Also, my colonoscopy was incomplete and I don’t want that to happen to you. Maybe knowing what happened to me can prevent the same thing from happening to you. This episode is not advice and is for entertainment purposes only. Anything dealing with your health should be discussed with your trusted healthcare provider
