Reply to "Pouchoscopy frequency"

It was fine without sedation, but to be honest I have only had colonoscopies with sedation. So the whole procedure was 10-15 minutes total. There was a couple of minutes of discomfort from the gas that gets pumped in. Just some crampy pain I could deep breathe through. Biopsies were taken, no pain there, just a tugging sensation here and there. I watched the whole thing on the monitor. Then they took me to the recovery area where everyone was snoring. They gave me my clothes and I got dressed after using the toilet. I drove myself home, picking up a hamburger on the way. Been doing this way since 1996.
