Do you mean colonoscopy or colostomy? Very different procedures.

I think you mean colonoscopy.

.They are a piece of cake, if it’s done the way I’ve experienced. They give you ‘twilight sedation’ So you’re not really OUT, but you’re not conscious either.

I do not remember the procedure at all. My brother requested to stay awake so he could watch the screen the camera was projecting images on - said it was not at all troubling.

Only - after - they pump a good bit of air into you and afterward it had to go somewhere. Recovery from colonscopies (usually a number of beds with curtains between...sounds like a fart symphony.

@Mamapolo2016 Yea huge difference colonoscopy or colostomy
I was wondering what nut schedules a colostomy from some home test
I have had 2 colonoscopy since 50 ,they have removed 6 pollips and a huge cyst
So yea ,I am glad I was out of it
I get pain blocks and such a lot ,,that stuff they use is awesome
I am a big man ,they need me to move me and get in positions for injections
But I never remember it .
Though I did fire a doctor up one time ,,I come around to him ranting a raving
The nurses assured me he caused whatever happened
I think I was about to kick his butt
