Colonoscopy - Any experience?

I know that the worst part is the preparation - people have been very keen to tell me about that!!! Perhaps having to have the Covid test is a bonus as I'm not allowed to leave the house anyway. I think I shall just take the Sunday papers into the loo. It is only the result that I am worrying about - Polyp is the only word I want to hear!

Don’t worry too much, the worst as Boz says, is the night before? but the actual procedure with sedation is fine.
You don’t have to wait there long for the results, and yes, it’s usually polyps if anything, which they remove during the procedure.Good luck.

If it is a polyp they will remove it there and then, you will not feel a thing.

My DH had one last year (and a gastroscopy at the same time).
It was very quick. We had to be at the hospital at 9 and we were home about 12.30.
Results straight away. There was very little the matter with him (so much so that I can't remember).
The day before you have to drink litres of stuff to clear you out.
Everyone says that this is the worst part. Good luck and try not to worry (stupid comment, I know).

Don't worry about the procedure; you will not know much about it if sedated,
The worst, for me, was the bowel-cleaning requirement before hand. They get you to drink loads of liquid that will constantly go through you. Not nice but Good Luck.
