Reply #9: Huh? The next time? This wasn't done in a hospital under heavy sedation?

That's the only way I've heard of it done around these parts, and they remove any polyps found right away. Hubby and his sister had theirs this year. He received a clean bill of health - no polyps - no need for another test for 10 years. His sister wasn't so lucky, they found and removed 2 polyps (they were benign) but she'll to return next year.

Here I thought that was just standard procedure, but I guess not...learn something everyday around here.
