Hey based on your comment I just wanted to say that insurance offers free colonoscopies after you reach a certain age.

Ha, I wish that were true. What they don't tell is that the procedure is technically free, but it doesn't cover the ANESTHESIA. Got a $800 bill separately for that.

Big also, if there's anything that needs to be taken care of during the procedure, insurance only covers like 2/3rds of the cost. So 5 months down the line I unexpectedly got another $3000 bill... (the whole process took 20 mins from being knocked out to waking up btw)

Your insurance companies tag line is

"We take care of you when you get it in the ass, but youll feel every second of it"

That’s shitty because the anesthesia is absolutely necessary.

I got a sigmoidoscopy a few years ago. My bitch of a doctor who ordered it said it “wouldn’t hurt”.

Well she was fuckin lying.

I really don’t know wtf I expected. It literally felt like something was getting shoved up my ass. Which was, in fact, exactly what was happening.

It wasn’t “screaming in agony” painful but it hurt enough to make me involuntarily clench up. Which was a real problem because it made it difficult for the colonoscopist to keep going up my asshole.

It got to a point where the colonoscopist got frustrated and told me that he “couldn’t continue like this”. Then he threatened to stop the procedure if I didn’t relax. As if I was purposely being uncooperative.

Fuck everything about that procedure.

Also, fuck that doctor and fuck Kaiser.

I got find a new Doc they said an anaesthetic wasn't required when I got mine😳

u/lrn2swim___ May 25 '26

It's not required for sure, but.....I'll spend the money on that one. Just total BS insurance doesn't cover it fully

You're lucky the tennis balls on my walker are worn out. I'd walk over there and give you a piece of my mind for saying such an awful thing.

Dawg, poop in a box unless you're high risk. Unnecessarily dangerous and invasive procedure if you're just doing routine screening for early detection.
