Everybody is different. I can tell you though is if you cannot speak during a colonoscopy the doctors have probably gone to far. 🥴 ;)
I wasn’t awake at my first. I have no desire to be awake at my second.

It's the new prep for fun tiny cameras. No more drinking a gallon of nasty stuff.

Dr. originally prescribed the nasty stuff because my insurance didn't cover the pills. I found a code that saved a pretty penny and got it switched - but almost didn't get it in time. Doctor called pharmacy last Monday. Pharmacy kept telling me it would come in tomorrow. It never did. Finally, they transferred the Rx over to another pharmacy (same chain) which supposedly could get it the next day for some reason. It was supposed to arrive by 11am-noon. I was supposed to start taking it at 2.

When it wasn't in by 1, I started calling around and found a different chain to transfer it over to, but then the first one got it in. Picked up at 1:57pm. LOL. First round is done. Next round is at midnight. In-between, we've got vitamin water lemonade with vitamins, gatorade protein drink (went to the gym yesterday so need my protein) water, hint, tea, broth, ginger ale, and lemon-lime jello. I couldn't find any brand of Italian ice at Publix to fit their criteria and mine (no corn syrup) so might venture out, send Brian, or order from Whole Foods later.

Of course, when I read the package the meds came in, it said I could have had breakfast this morning. D'oh!

Due for my 3rd one a’ those.
Got it scheduled for after the first of the year.
Nothin’ says “Happy New Year…!!!!!” like one a’ those…!!!!! 🤣:hilarious:

Are you ready for this?

Are you? Ready?

I woke up in the middle of the thing(!)

Before: whole staff was awesome, made me feel very comfortable, discussed what would happen when they pushed the propofol - and it happened, I was out.

And then: I woke up as if from a nightmare, like raising my torso while letting out what I can only describe as a horror movie gasp!

I felt three people push me back down and say, “It’s OK, you’re alright.” I said, “Sorry, I forgot where I was” and upon finishing that sentence, I was back out.

Nuts!

I’ve posted this before…
The first one I had, they told me I wouldn’t remember a thing about the procedure. Problem was I never went out, but, they still proceeded with the procedure. Doc looks at the anesthetist/anesthesiologist and she said “I gave him the whole dose.” He said as long as I’m awake he may as well turn the monitor around so I can see what he’s doin’…!!!!! 🤣
Second one, I was stone cold out. Just remember wakin’ up in recovery later.
Before the second procedure, I told the anesthesiologist what happened the first time and he said “We got better stuff now, your goin’ out…!”…!!!!! :hilarious:
