Brandy,
Glad to hear you survived your colonoscopy.
I was petrified about having mine but as I was over 50 and having IBS problems prior to WLS, they decided the timing was good.
The doc promised me that I would be away with the fairies for the entire procedure. But nothing could be further from the truth. I laid on my side and watched what was happening to my innerds on a TV screen.
There was no pain - I felt nadda. The doc pointed out a little polyp which he removed, showed me that I had diverticula(s) but said that he was pretty happy with what he saw.
Cause of the small polyp (which he removed but lost!), I'm scheduled for another colonoscopy at 5 years rather than 10.
