“So I have my first colonoscopy tomorrow because I was told by my doctor that people are getting [colon cancer] younger and younger, and they should go in earlier and earlier to get checked now,” Ms. Teigen said in a video.

Through her Instagram stories, Ms. Teigen shared her experience preparing for the procedure, including taking colon cleanse pills and practicing eating restrictions, as well as an update afterward. 

“I just woke up from my colonoscopy and I feel great. It took like 20 minutes. I honestly wish it took longer because it was a good nap,” Ms. Teigen said.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
