Second the recommendation to get scoped if you’re due. It is really no big deal at all, the prep is easy. Way overblown in pop culture. The only people I’ve ever heard complain about the procedure had polyps removed, which adds some discomfort for a day or so, but isn’t that worth it?

You're correct that the scope is no big deal. I've had 5 scopes so far. I did 2 of them awake. Yes, I wasn't knocked out. I was actually staring at the same screen my doc was looking at staring at my insides. So I don't want to hear the wimps whining.
