Colonoscopy without Sedation

Felt compelled to write, having just had a colonoscopy. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not worry about the procedure. The Moviprep was not much fun and the first does made me feel very sick, almost to the point where I didn't think I could do the second dose. However, the second dose was much better and I didn't feel so sick. 

The thought of the procedure was far worse than the reality. I decided against sedation and I am so pleased that I did, it was uncomfortable for about 3 seconds twice and gas and air was perfect. I appreciate that everyone is different, but I really don't think sedation is needed. The pain was less than wind and really nothing to be concerned about.

I hope this helps anyone worrying or researching colonoscopy without Sedation. It was fine and very little pain at all. Relax and you will be fine.

Take care,

Michael
