Had one in Oct...
The "purging", as you say, is the most
uncomfortable part. You will be drugged
up for the procedure, and will know nothing,
and feel no discomfort what so ever....
bottoms up !
.
p.s...I must add that the colonoscopy probably
saved my life. Glad you have the courage to man up..
The purging part is good and the colonoscopy is no biggie other than loosing you last bit of man pride. I had one done in November and in fact the drugs were great. I can't wait for the next one,just for the drugs.

My doc asked what music I wanted to hear as I went off to sleep. He didn't give me time to anwer before he put on Magical Mystery Tour. The last thing I heard was "....waiting to take you away....."
He also told my wife that I couldn't be held responsible for my actions for the next twenty-four hours because of the drugs he administered. I told her I needed to go do something to take advantage of that window of opportunity...

Perhaps 97Tird knows ... where is Dr. Haas when you really need him??...
Versed ( Midazolam )is an inter-venous medicine frequently used. It has a short half life so you can go home( much shorter than valium) It does have an amnesic affect. They might give you a valium tablet ahead of time , but usually its Versed given i.v.
Dr Oz [the Dr show on TV] had one done while he was awake. This and the results [video of his internals] were shown on TV. To his surprise, a polyp or two was found, and they simply bit it off with the built in 'alligator jaws' on the inspection device.
I just had a 9 inches of colon removed because of a poo blocking tumor.
