- As a GI doctor, I think Will Smith did an amazing thing by vlogging his colonoscopy! I watched it for the first time and reacted to it here! A great learning opportunity and I'm grateful he's spreading awareness about colon cancer prevention to millions

Isn't it wonderful when celebrities actually promote health and wellness properly for a change? It's like a breath of fresh air!!!!
Doctor Dan absolutely! But there are some discrepancies in what’s actually recommended by some guidelines and what was promoted in his vlog! So always important to take that into consideration!
Just a note: colonoscopy is not the only form of colon cancer screening, BUT it’s the best at detecting EARLY lesions and the ONLY method that allows for removal of polyps at the same time! 🙏
I had 3 polyps. I had mine done 2018 n they said three years...by the way ive notoiced lil more dark stools, not bad.
Can’t wait to watch this Austin!! 😬
Mama Doctor Jones thank you! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been back 💙
Loving you professionals supporting each other! You both make excellent informative content and utilize social media in a manner that promotes wellness & helps earn public trust in doctors.
This is great info!
Actually I am an orthodontist but my brother is GI and when I watch you I loved the GI
le monde de Nina عالم نينا that’s awesome!! Thanks!
I'm a Gastroenterology nurse here in England and looking into specialising as an Endoscopy nurse.. and I so love watching your videos as I'm learning a lot...

Well done. I recommend some MOM and clear liquids day before the prep started and lots of Gatorade till midnight
Having Crohn's I have to have regular colonoscopys.... Pico-Salex is the stuff I have to drink... that stuff is EVIL lol.... so glad to see this.
This is by far one of the best done and entertaining "I'm gonna get scoped!" vlogs I've seen.
I really liked your review as well...It's also nice to see you back in the saddle again.
My colon decided it wanted to have a polyp garden,so from 2016 to August 2019 I've had 4 unsedated colonoscopies, three water,one gas.
I'm one of those people who enjoys watching and talking with my Dr. during them. Do you ever give unsedated colonoscopies?
Daci Sky oh my a polyp garden! we do not do unsedated in general unless there’s a contraindication to anesthesia.
@@AustinChiangMD There wasn't,that was my choice for all of them. In fact,for the 4th. one,I had a EGD/colonoscopy and arranged with the anesthetist for me to be awake for the colonoscopy,so I woke up from the EGD with my glasses on starting at my colon on the monitor. :) It was so cool!
Daci Sky wow!! Not everyone gets to see that!!!
@@AustinChiangMD Sad to say,most people I've talked to do not want to see that! The nurse who assisted was so impressed,she said when it's time for her to have one,she's doing it unsedated. :) A convert!
Let me just register my envy of people getting their 1st colonoscopy at 50 when I am preparing for my 3rd and I'm in my 30s. And my hospital still uses the 4L PEG prep. Shout out to my GI tract of mysteries.
pygmywombat Wow. Thanks for sharing. Various conditions require earlier screening/surveillance and other symptoms may prompt colonoscopy as well!
In the video, you refer to the appendix as something that "really serves no purpose". I was under the impression that the purpose of the appendix HAS been determined (albeit not until around 2007). That it is comprised almost entirely of immune tissue and serves as a storehouse for good bacteria, allowing the gut to replenish itself if it is flushed out by a particularly bad bout of diarrhea, for example.
Thank you for your highly entertaining & informative video, please make more!
Yes and it can be used to reconstruct the bladder.
I love your demeanor! You have an awesome sense of humor and adorable expressions which makes you very engaging ! Thank you for such an informative video which is also so entertaining! #awesomedoc
I got to go for mines Jan 2024 that why I’m looking at videos on it before next week
What a good channel. I am on to my 3rd endoscopy tomorrow and have scheduled my first colonoscopy for the 9th of november. And im 35 :/
I'm a 41 year old woman with a diagnosis of diverticula and have two bouts of diverticulitis and I also have ibs symptoms I think. So I'm curious if 50 is still the age for a colonoscopy? I have gas and bloating often and other issues in my intestines so I'm wondering. Pain in the stomach is common for me
Hi there, just a question: months after ileostomy surgery this july I still lost stool out of my colon.. But I also did not have to take laxatives, is that normal?
I read one dument that said they punctured a hole in their large intestine.
Hey Doc! Like Will, I had my age 50 scope last Dec. They found 3 precancerous adenomas. They recommended that I come back in 3 years. Would i be obsessing if I try and get scheduled at the 2 year mark? They didn't say that they were huge or anything. The quantity and being precancerous does concern me.
Thanks
If a blind person work to get a colonoscopy, how would they know when their stool is clear enough if they live independently? Would they like have to FaceTime somebody?
Asking because I’m blind
I guess sedation makes insurers money? It seems to be routine in the USA but isn't used much here and not by defaullt
Had one of these today and it wassn't fun. Ide recommend anyone getting this to get knocked out completely. The drug they used propofol i think its called waasnt powerful enough and they gave me the highest dose they could without needing an anestioliogist. Im a big guy (280 lbs) who loves to drink so the drugs did nothing and i was totally aware and could feel everything. I was chatting with the staff the whole time and they seemed kinda amazed that i was still functioning and unfazed by all the drugs the injected me with. pain was at least an 8 maybe 9 out of 10 in some parts of the procedure. But result came back great doc said im totally healthy so its worth it. Ide just get put out next time lol i dont want to discourage anyone from gettin one done. Does it suck? Yes. But cancer sucks alot more and most people will have a far better expierence then i did.
Maybe you had a twisty colon or lots of inflammation, here we don' use anyting
I wish this video had at least 10% of the views Will Smith's video garnered. Less than 10,000 views after 3 years (only 9,409 views as of October 6, 2022!)? While Will Smith's video numbered in the millions? I really enjoyed the information you provided in addition to the real life experience video posted by Will Smith.
@16.30. what's a "healthy diet"?
It takes guts, but he is a great role model for doing this.
What age would you recommend getting a colonoscopy for a white dude? Am currently 49. Also, how often should you get one done?
hello,
i'm one who is interested in becoming a GI. how many years do i have to study after high school to become one.
i would like to know the road to GI, right from high school upto final position.
I had mine done at 38 in 2018 they said another in 3 years, does that mean im already due? Oh gaw. Its scary. Not during the thing but the results r scary. But, it has to be done!!
I know biopsies are taken in upper endoscopies, do you take biopsies in a colonoscopy?
I read somewhere that egg whites were considered clear liquids?
Nicole Kawa I would avoid egg whites! Just for a day or two of the prep, so many other options for clear liquids
Holy crap!!! I never knew the odds. That’s crazy. Also, the prep is AWFUL!!!
Nicole Kawa yes! Concerning when framed that way!!
Why not just do a sigmoidoscopy?
It will only cover the last third of the colon, not all
It was disappointing, he didn't show the prep work at all and thats why we come here to watch...It was ridiculous, a doctor escorting him and all, next time be real Will!!!
You want me to get tested, loose the colonoscopy and i will get tested tomorow!
Black panther😢😢
