Donna, Hi and Welcome to iVillage
Please Try Not to Worry or Be Afraid...
A colonoscopy is simple*
Hi Donna,
Try not to be afraid. My doctor and most doc's don't actually put you to sleep for these procedures. They give you a med that makes you not remember it but, they need you to cooperate with them so you're not actually asleep. That said I don't remember a thing about either of the scope I've had. I had the endo about 3 years ago and will be having one again soon. My colonoscopy was just about a week ago. The prep really is the worst part. Let us know how it goes.
Love,
Jamie

Hi,
I had a colonoscopy last Tuesday. Don't worry about it, it will be over before you know it and you will be so glad you did it. I was scared too. But looking back on it now, it was really nothing. Just take it slow, take care of yourself tonight, and by tomorrow evening you'll be fine! Good luck with your results.
