[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1107895, member: 176704"] Having had a "conventional" colonoscopy myself 6 yrs ago (with negative results!), I can assure everyone that it is NOT a pleasant proceedure but the overall time for the examination itself was less (about 60-70 mins) than that required using the capsule method, and I didn't then have to wear that belt or take the "monitoring kit" back to the hospital OTOH, the "preparations" beforehand appear to be pretty much the same for both methods, take just as long and are just as "uncomfortable" - and I absolutely DARE anyone to risk driving themselves to/from either type of appointment because your bowels are in a "constant state of liquid flux" for at least a day before and afterwards - and thus the "results" are thus likely to be seen on the car seat [I](I sat on thick towels whilst my wife drove the 15 miles each way - and every moment I was dreading what might "happen" if I were so much as to cough, sneeze, or even just move a bit on the seat)[/I]!
