yeah, you have to drink a huge amount of this nasty tasting crap so you can crap out all your crap. but for the procedure, they knock you out, and when you wake up, it’s done. a walk in the park. i’m in my 70s and have had about a half dozen. one time my throat was a tiny bit raw from the camera, but that was all i ever “suffered” discomfort-wise.

A tiny camera ….. love to tell the gullible that back in the day it was a Polaroid camera and when the flash bulb went off the pain was incredible.

The worst part of a colonoscopy is the “cleansing” the day before.

I was awake during my colonoscopy. Got to watch in live and in HD. I even asked to doctor questions as he worked.
