Colonoscopy

Having colonoscopy tomorrow with sedation really scared help. Any one give me any advice.

I was terrified when I had mine. I had a huge anxiety attack. It was all for nothing. I went to sleep and then woke up like nothing happened. The Dr didn't find anything wrong with me either. I was so mad at myself for getting so worked up over nothing.

Hi Christine!

Relax! I have had two. No big deal, really! You will probably be given medication prior to the procedure which relaxes you and it is OVER before you know it! I had no pain. Could have driven myself home, but they required a driver for all patients. No side effects at all.

You can DO THIS!

Relax!♥️

I've had it 4 years ago with gas and air but was painfull so hopefully sedation will help .thank you .

Did you just have sedation or was you anesthetized .

Hi, don't worry, I had a colonoscopy bout 3 or 4 years didn't feel very much at all with sedation, I have a redundant colon so they spent about an hour pushing and shoving with me in every position possible trying to do it, but could only do one half, so I had to have a barium enema a few weeks later to do the other half, a redundant colon means the colon is longer than normal with twists and turns, you will be ok, I was ok with that going on.

Sure thing!♥️

TRY to relax and think of the procedure as something that will help you know more about your body's health. Breathe and think positive thoughts. It really helps a lot!

Let us know how things go for you, OK?

Sending prayers of CALM and PEACE and COMFORT to you!🤗

Try not to worry, I had one a few days ago and know how anxious you must feel.  It’s not as bad as it sounds and if you have sedation like I did it helps.

Christine nothing to be worry about. I had my colonoscopy done yesterday. I was freaking out, but when I woke up I was like was that it? Good luck. Trust me you will be glad that you did it. They removed a tissue from my colon and sent it to a lab...

I had some kind of sedation. I asked for something specific that I had before for dental surgery. It's harder to come out of I guess, but I knew I could handle it and it didn't cause me any side effects.

Not bad at all .unlike last time was painfull .

Hi, good to hear not that bad, the sedation seems to work well in that situation.
