Good luck with your new doctor. 6 weeks is absurdly long to wait for blood tests!

BTW, I'm kinda new to this board and hoping it picks up. I know I could use the support.

Good luck, good luck!

I hope this Doctor is more helpful AND responsive with results!

6 weeks!! You're right, that's BS.

Is this another GI? I am crossing my fingers that this one is better. Kudos for being prepared! Let us know how it goes

I would be so furious if I didn't have test results six weeks later. I'm glad that this new doctor has some new options for you, though! Did you schedule your colonoscopy?

Good luck!!
And how did you get the pills? I want them desperately for next time and my doctor was no longer prescribing them.

yay I'm really glad he's pushing the colonoscopy ASAP. June 7 is so soon - that is great he was able to get you in that quickly.

I'm glad you'll start prepping early for this one. I also prepped 2 days in advance and I think it made it a lot easier on me. extra unsolicited advice: I would also eat lighter on Wed -- do not try to "treat" yourself for the upcoming fast. I ate really light that day and only did liquid after 5pm. I also had extra coffee/ginger tea (both help me have BMs), and I had very little to actually clean out when I took the prep the next night. the next morning (step #2) when I took the prep, I was able to make it to my 8am class without any issues because the job had already been done.

I'm glad you are getting a move on with the colonoscopy, hopefully you can get it done with sooner if there's an immediate opening. Let us know what else concerns you if you are still nervous, I'm sure the procedure will help get a good diagnosis and plan of action for fixing you back up the right way. Best of luck and keep us updated!
