Yes I've had a few of these. . Several lager polyps removed with EMR procedure. I watched the screen throughout most of it. Didn't feel anything when they did it but colonoscopy procedure is quite painful for me as I've had a right hemicolectomy ( quite a bit of large intestine removed). Tbh I'd take max sedation, max painkiller, gas and air and try to relax. Its not horrendous and some people don't feel much at all.
Expect some blood when you have first bowel motion afterwards.
Eat easily digested food for a couple of days. Eggs, chicken , fish potatoes. Lay off fried foods, high fibre stuff.

thank you for replying and for your reassurance. I’m terrible with managing pain always have been! Good to know removal of polyp will be pain free. Thank you for the guidance on the diet and what can happen post procedure. Get through this and ten woory about results! Hope you have a nice day
They usually give you a written report right after a colonoscopy and altho polyps go off to the lab for histology they also tell me if any polyps are of concern or are harmless. I've had about 65 removed so far so I'm a bit like whatever about it all now.
I can’t begin to imagine all those procedures for polyps! You must get fed up with it and of course as the procedure hurts you. I wish I wasn’t focusing on myself so much!
