"As of 2026, there is no official Guinness World Record for an individual patient who has undergone the most colonoscopies." - google search.

I am finishing my prep for colonoscopy number 7 as I type this. I'm sure that's a low number compared to some of you, but in my defense I wasn't diagnosed until age 48. I will try to pick up the pace.

How many have you had, and who has the belt?

Edit:

After reading the posts, respect to all for hanging in and being tough bastards. I especially bow down to these colonoscopy warriors. True champions.

Hi this is just a reality check as we want to ramp up our giving as we've gotten older and accumulated more assets. So the question is, for those who do, roughly how much do you give? (And no shade to those who don't.) Currently we are near retirement and have annual income of about $700k with about 20 M TNW, and give about 15k per year to various charities and political causes. Feels way low to me. Would love to get comparison #'s and also your thoughts on how you decide how much to give...
