The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

Getting a Colonoscopy - Part 2


Listen Later

I believe in preventative health and today I am discussing my experience getting my second colonoscopy at the age of 53. 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 first colonoscopy was incomplete. In this solocast I share what was different the second time around, including the anesthesia used and why I scheduled it for a different time of day.

First Episode I did on getting a colonoscopy.
