Was it by choice you got no sedatives?

I haven't gotten one done yet but when the time comes, I want to be sedated. Why not.

We used 3 types of sedation for colonoscopy in UK , none , mild or gas and air and full knock out..

I used mild and had no issues

First thought was haemorrhoids on seeing that . But I drive trains not inspect rectums so ...
 
And good luck to all who are awaiting results or awaiting colonoscopies .,x

How was mild exactly. Like were you just lying there feeling super good and they did their thing while were just relaxing? Or what?

I wouldn't say super relaxed , you can still feel things but it feels odd, not uncomfortable.

The procedure is not the worst part.. The laxative you have to drink is so much worse.
It like cooking oil and it taste like rotten sea water.

I had my first colonoscopy this year and totally agree. The laxative tastes terrible, and you have to drink so much to get flushed out that you risk getting nauseous. (Pro tip: Don't wait until the official start time of the routine to get started on the laxatives. You may be like me, hitting a wall and feeling physically unable to onboard any more liquid.)

they did?
Because this was worse than drinking satans cold morning piss...
and you had to drink gallons of it.
and you just wanted to puke.
and it was oily as hell.

The procedure was nothing compared to that shit.

and I only got some butt cream and was awake the whole time.

Yea, it was quite tolerable tbh . Worst thing was it didn't work in the time frame, I was like 2 hours past where it was supposed to start and was getting worried, then BOOM ...

And remembering what you can't have to drink as it shows up on the exam ...

My son came to meet me after as I wasn't allowed to drive afterwards and to walk home .

Him being a chip off the old block walked in and went " Hi, I'm here to pick up my father Tone C , you've been sticking a camera up his arse I think ?"
 
I was supposed to have one at the end of June but cancelled my appointment because it wouldn’t have been here in Edmonton at any hospital or doctor’s clinic. It would have instead been done at a hospital in a small town about two hours north of Edmonton. When I told my oldest brother about where it was being done he said “I hope that you’re staying at a hotel in the small town the night before because there’s no way you will be able to handle that two hour drive without shitting yourself before the procedure”. There’s no other towns or rest stops between Edmonton and this smaller town, so I would be in trouble driving to the appointment after drinking all the collate. I will have to see if my family doctor can refer me to a different doctor that actually will do it locally.

I’m only 39 and under our public healthcare here in Alberta they won’t do them until age 55 unless you’re higher risk. My Dad died last year of sepsis from a burst appendix. The autopsy showed that the appendix actually burst because he had appendix cancer. Appendix cancer is super rare (1 in 2 million) but it’s closely related to colon cancer, so for that reason the pathologist that did the autopsy recommended that I get a colonoscopy sooner rather than later.

Sorry for your loss mate.
