On another thread..same thing went on with a guy going thru this.
He was awake throughout the entire process.
Never asked for sedation. He said he wondered why he wasn't given it. He asked us here abt it.. u might find that thread helpful.
U may wanna ask abt this..beforehand.
U should be comfortable and if need be..knocked out. Providing u have a driver taking u home.
Good luck with the procedure.

As one has to be in early for some procedures, maybe you have been through the fire already, and are in recovery. Hope everything went well.

I can only comment on having them through an ileostomy as have 1 every year, no sedation needed... no pain at all slightly uncomfortable as they blow gas in so they can see, scope wont go any further than 24 inches at best usually much less due to scar tissuse we all have.... it's the only scope I look forward to when it's the one down your throat it's another story!

Hi all the only time i was sedated is when they did both upper and lower scopes.
