Reply to "sedation or no sedation"

I'm a baby. I always opt for sedation. The first time my surgeon went to 'take a peek' he was a little cold when I said I wanted to be sedated. I was only 17 years old and not being sedated scared me. I still ask to be sedated with him and my new GI (who also was a little cold, saying he does sigmoidoscopies without sedation and that's higher up). In all honesty, I'd love to be sedated for the fleet enema I always have to take. That is the most dreadful thing ever.

I have no problem not being able to drive after, and truly enjoy my little nap.
I have thought about asking for a light sedation (twilight) next time to see if it's okay. My brother had a colonoscopy with light sedation and he had no problem with that.
