I second this comment by JB. The virtual colonoscopy requires that you be cleaned out. If it identifies anything that looks like a polyp it has to be followed by a physical colonoscopy. While the day of prep is both inconvenient and somewhat uncomfortable, the benefits are huge. My advice is to JUST DO IT! Just make sure that it is done by a highly experienced physician and the same for the anesthesiologist. I found the two days of fasting to be fairly pleasant (water, meds, and most vitamins and supplements allowed) after the hunger pangs disappeared.

If you're awaiting this to get a needed colonoscopy you are making a short-sighted and stupid decision. Angelina Jolie pays a fortune for her "cleansing." The service is free with the scope!
