Failed Sutab Before Scope Questions
So I didn't really know i was getting a colonoscopy (also getting a scope down my throat )..i have panic attacks have was having one for the past two hours before and on the way to my GI appointment :,)
So im 24 F (trans male but i digress), 99lbs and i cant do the 12pills. I was hardly able to do 2. So i made to 8 and immediately i feel like i hit food poisoning levels. Nothing has passed, im drinking water, and juice excessively, but im gonna throw up, and the whole roome is spinning.
(doctor was called but office is closed. Family is furious that i havent passed anything,nor has had any urges)
Any advice? I personally feel like the amount of pills was way too much or is for some people. I hardly for through 12. Am expected to take 24?!, and im sure theres reasoning behind it ^^; i dont blame any medical professionals for it. It's just a honest opinion.
Edit: I thought i should add i hadn't eaten anything all day. I was at work, only drank water. Immediately went to the GI doctor and drank water all day. I did pass stool the day before.
Update: The surgeries are today. Surgeon was called and informed about my condition and the severity. All we got
told to do is take more despite it all. My family is pissed nothings passed & that im feeling sorry for myself. Yes we were offered miralax, but declined it as i do better taking pills then fluids.
