Actually most people are put to sleep for their colonoscopy. You shouldn't feel a thing. You'll be given an iv drip, and the next thing you will know is when you wake up.
I was awake for the other test,the sigmaosopy(sp)That was a bit uncomfortable, but not terrible.
However, everyone that I know that's had a colonosopy has been "put under." So don't worry, you'll be fine.
The "prep" the night before is the worst part. You shouldn't feel ill during the prep. You'll will just be spending a lot of time in the bathroom. However, it shouldn't make you ill.
Let us know how it goes
