Do you know what drugs you were given? I had a colonoscopy and the drugs made it a terrible experience. They want me to do another but there is no way unless they use something else, but I don't know what to request. I was so tired and foggy for a full day after and my short term memory was messed up for weeks. Thanks for posting your video. It gives me hope I can have a better experience

Again, you are 100% asleep before the procedure begins. You experience NOTHING! If they remove polyps or do a biopsy you won't feel a thing because you're unconscious. It only last abou 20 minutes. You're not sick afterwards. I went straight to the Chinese buffet and had a big meal. I had it today and there are no after-effects. I'm not the slightest bit sore from the insertion of the "scope." I can't even tell it was done. Don't listen to the BS about the bad tasting drink. Have NO FEAR!

Hey oracle2world - there are some other videos on shopping & prepping for a colonoscopy in our account! We get to the bowel cleansing stuff there. Totally agree, that is the gross part.

Just had this today! The prep to clean you out is far worse than the procedure.

Yes - she was sedated during the procedure but quickly "came to" afterwards. It wasn't painful at all, and all she remembered was the moments right before she received anesthesia and then speaking with the doctor once it was over.
