Ever had a colonoscopy?

My gp wants me to get one because I have some issues

I’m terrified. can you tell me what your experience was like?

Yes, and the procedure itself isn’t bad. The prep is a drag, because you are prescribed GaviLyte or something like it that cleans out your system. So you’ll be spending a LOT of time in the bathroom during that process. They may have a different schedule for you, but this was what mine was like:
Like others have said, they knock you out, and when you wake up (which seems like moments later) it’s all done !
Then you’ll want to go eat. There was a diner next door and with my sister, who took me, we had lunch—with other patients ! 😄
