<![CDATA[Digestive]]>My doctor mentioned a colonoscopy because I’ve been having changes in my bowel habits. For those who have gone through one in Singapore, was the bowel preparation harder than the procedure itself?

I had mine with Dr Kieron Lim, a Recommended colonoscopy specialist in Mount Elizabeth. My advice is to follow the preparation instructions closely and stay near a toilet.

For those recommending doctors, do consider cost/accessibility for a wider audience, and also be more detailed about your personal experience in your search — who was considered, the shortlist, the doctor’s personality, follow up.

I think the prep is what puts a lot of people off, so feel free to share that experience too.
