overall it wasn't too bad outside of the prep. I spent the day before coloring with my son, drinking broth, popping dulcolax, and shitting my brains out. I had a headache from not eating by the next morning.
The biggest surprise was the fact that I wasn't asleep while the procedure was being done. I assumed I would be totally sedated. Fortunately they gave me a cocktail of fentanyl and something else, which they told me was similar to valium. The drugs worked, for sure, but I could still feel the camera moving around inside me, which was odd.
In the end, I had a couple of polyps removed and they were determined to be benign. I did have some internal hemorrhoids, which were causing my symptoms.
You know when I read the Dr's report it stated I had internal hemorrhoids. He didn't even mention it to me. Do you just let them go if they are not bothering you?
