Kate, Iam afraid of that tube because I hear they don't give you anything so you don't feel it. Just the idea of a long tube passing through your insides. I've had the flexible sigmoids ( oh, how they hurt!!!) I serenaded the whole waiting room, I'm sure. That was bad enough, let alone tubes from the top end. Yuck!!! Millie
