Hi beki, I've had a sigmoidoscopy and a colonoscopy done. How are you feeling? I was awake for the sigmoidoscopy but was sedated for the colonoscopy.

I hope your feeling better. I am awaiting an appointment for a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Will be fully sedated for both. Not looking forward to the cleansing of the system prior to the colonoscopy :-/

Ive had a couple of colonoscopys due to chronic IBS and if you have been given clean prep to take make sure you add juice to it (not black current) or make a jelly with it otherwise it can taste a bit nasty!
It starts works really quickly so beware of this!!!'
No matter how bad you feel you must try And finish all 4 sachets otherwise the procedure can't go ahead.

Thanks everyone, I had an enema which was given by a nurse at the hospital, I was awake for my procedure with no sedative 
it hurt me so much that they had to stop because my blood pressure went too high and I started having a panic attack defiantly have a sedative if you can! Luckily I'm all ok and nothing major to worry about xxx

Oh not pleasant at all.
I've had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. Both without sedation. I'm a nurse therefore decided on no sedation. If I were to have either one again or know anyone having one - I will always say go for the sedation. Oh and the prep is particularly unpleasant. Diluting juice defo helps just make sure there's no fibre in it.
Hope your results are all clear xx
