@A myHIVteam Member, the procedure itself is very easy, and doesn't hurt. About a half hour to 45 minutes. Really no pain at all, just a little discomfort maybe a day or two when trying to use the toilet. Nothing to be afraid of at all. The worst part is drinking the crap the night before and running to the toilet every 15 minutes.

Just last year. Since my mom's colon cancer diagnosis, and eventual passing on I have mine done every 5 years. Since 2003.

I have never had one done but, I will ask about it the next time I'm at the doctor's since it's regularly.
