I'm so happy to talk colonoscopies with people who need them, I can tell you my tips and tricks and the hilarious things I have asked for while waking up. The number one thing to keep in mind with colonoscopies: the Propofol nap is worth every second of prep.
Well, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!
