      just say that you are OK after a hospitalization etc, but to be
      VLOGING is TMI. Same goes for Kevin Heart. Just get healthy
      and we will see you when you up to par. It's not the public
      business. I'm sorry, not with this whole new generation
      of social media and your whole life on the internet etc. Out
      of respect and dignity for the man, I wish him a safe recovery
      and hope to see him back in the mix soon. Not with this
      millennial agenda tactics.

    During the whole video I had the biggest respect to Will for showing us his colonoscopy. It's a procedure few people want to do and even less wants to talk about, especially guys, especially black guys. So to see Will Smith doing it is very very impactful, so I really bow to you for that.
    But then at the end it reveals that they even found a polyp!!
    So it went from "Wow, Will is such an amazing person who actually shows this procedure for us" to "Woooow.... it was really good that they did that then... this procedure really is necessary.....".
    thank you so much, Will! ❤

      Júlia Kercsmár If it helps, my dad got a colonoscopy for IBS, they said he was fine (bar the IBS) and he said the worst part was the prepping with not eating and the flushing. The procedure on him was done while he was asleep (don’t know if they can also do it whilst you’re awake), when he came to and woke up properly he was gassy and felt some soreness, but it was really irrelevant. The worst part was the prep and getting your mind over the fact it’s a camera in your anus.

      It should be said that this is not how a normal colonoscopy is performed. If you're an average, healthy person, you're not going to be under anesthesia, and you don't get any drugs at all (this was my experience, at least). They give you a pair of shorts with an opening in the back and tell you to lay on your side. The funny thing is, having a colonoscopy about three years ago is actually a fond memory of mine because I got to see my insides in super-HD; parts of me that had never seen light before, while the doctor explained what we were seeing on the screen which had the live camera feed and a 3D representation of how the camera chord was forming within my body.
      Aside from about five seconds of slight discomfort as he was adjusting the chord, I felt no pain at all. All was well, and I have zero fear of the next inevitable check-up.
      I'm now realizing that I am replying to the wrong comment, and I have no idea who I was trying to reply to :P ..but there it is. If you think something might be wrong or you just want to make sure you're healthy, get checked. It's not a big deal at all.
