Sheal Posted August 5, 2021 #25028 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 hour ago, Sea Dog said: I don't know if anyone who has had a colonoscopy has had this experience but some doctors will do conscious sedation (you are awake but don't remember) or sedate you completely with a drug like propofol (Michael Jackson drug). The first time I had the procedure they did conscious sedation which was weird because you are awake but I did not remember anything but felt drugged afterwards and wanted to just go home and sleep and not eat. I figured after fasting for 24 hours I would be starving. I felt cruddy the whole day. The second time was with propofol which was amazing. I woke up alert, feeling well rested and was very hungry so we went out to lunch. Felt great the whole day. If you have it done and your insurance will pay for propofol by all means do it. Raising my hand. First time I was aware of moaning then I realized it was me and I could feel the discomfort. The doctor then gave me a little extra and I had the same reaction as you. Exhausted and slept the whole day. Next time around they had to schedule an appointment when the anesthesiologist was available (only done one day a month). Appointment was at 12PM but strangely for me I wasn't totally starving. I got out and we headed straight to the nearby sandwich shop. Fully awake the rest of the day. Much better experience but not enough to convince me to schedule another one even though I got my reminder 3 months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny, I would have to agree, you probably are the only person who enjoys the product. I have to say, it is much better than the stuff they used about 15 years ago. I got nauseous just trying to swallow it. It was like trying to drink Drano and then I felt it gurgle all the through.🤢 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "gastro" doc is a friend for more than 30 years... When I heard another friend that she went to him for her "colo", I was speechless, saying: "but how could you???? he's our friend !!! " She replied: "He's an excellent doc, that's a procedure where you'll prefer someone with lots of experience, and beside -- he's seen thousands of ...., mine will not make any difference". I decided to take her advice, and I'm very OK with it 😁 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 70's it was acceptable for DRs to smoke in the office and hers smoked a pipe. All of her friends would laugh when they would compare stories of their feet in stirrups and seeing the smoke billowing up between their legs. I don't know how they could all socialize with him.

DH has his routine colonoscopy tomorrow and is fasting today, starting prep this afternoon. And it’s pouring rain. Pray for me, LOL. Oh my, good luck to both of you. Hope you have more than one toilet in the house! I am due to get my first colonoscopy soon and I keep putting it off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, you couldn't really know, but we lost her suddenly 10 years ago to a congenital aneurysm. I miss her every day. She is the lady with the white glasses on the right, and our "mutual" gastro doc is the 1st guy on the left. . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
