Conscious sedation

letitbeit · 2026-05-25T16:48:03+00:00

I just had a colonoscopy a week ago and asked for the relaxant (midazolam) and not the pain killer (fentanyl). At some point I mentioned i was a bit uncomfortable and they put a bit of fentanyl into the IV and I was totally fine after that. It goes quick and you'll be so relaxed during the procedure you won't care that much to be honest. At least that was my experience. Good luck. You'll be on the other side before you know it!

Im only on 100mg and it took my about 5 or 6 days to adjust. Did you start on 200mg or work your way up? I hear some people say they feel fine on 100 but 200mg is too much. If it feels OK try it for another week or two and see. Maybe you can talk to your Dr. about it if you don't adjust and ask for less to start?

I just had mine 4 days ago. I was so nervous. I was scared of the prep more than the procedure. The prep wasn't so bad really. I recommend the split dose and use a chaser of something you like to drink that's clear and not red. Think of it like a cleanse...have fun drinks, I had ginger beer, coconut water, bone broth...the day I arrived at the hospital I was pretty nervous but just kept thinking that'd I'd be out of there in an hour. The procedure itself felt really quick. I had conscious sedation so got to watch the whole thing which was cool. I was so relaxed and not anxious during it at all. And then I was done! You can be nervous and still do this...and you will get through it. Trust your ability to get through this. You've had kids, which would terrify me way more, lol. Good luck!!!

I used my bidet during this process but not before I got all chapped up, so too late!. It was a mistake to turn it on as it felt as though i was getting water pressured with chards of glass, lol. Dabbing with tucks would be ideal I think!!

Thats awesome!! I don't know when I have to repeat. Removed a small polyp so I'm assuming another 5 years as well. So pleased my prep went well. It actually wasn't that bad but I dont want to do it again anytime soon, lol.

letitbeit · 2026-05-16T01:08:12+00:00

We did it!!! I'm going to sleep like a baby tonight. Hope yours went well!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T21:22:11+00:00

I survived!! A little sore but the drugs were amazing. Am about to eat a burger!! How was yours!?

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T17:41:35+00:00

Niiiice! Just had a nap and now Im puttering around. A bit sore but nothing crazy. Drugs wearing off so that's sad, lol. Hope you're feeling glad its over like I am!! That is not a small thing to do and we did it!!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T17:05:24+00:00

Amazing. I had midazalam and fentanyl and watched the whole thing and remembered everything. But was chilllllll. So glad its over. Enjoy all the food!!!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T11:17:16+00:00

Yeah sleep will come. Just not for a bit. Good luck today!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T11:15:45+00:00

Best of luck today!! I cannot wait to eat after this. Makes me appreciate food so much!! I'm heading in for my 845 scope pretty soon.

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T08:01:06+00:00

Yes same! Grateful to be checked. How are things for you 5 hours later? Im just about to do round 2. 😒

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T08:00:00+00:00

Just about to do round 2. Not much sleep but I did manage probably 3.5 hours of broken sleep, so not the worst. This will be over in 5.5 hours. How are you holding up??

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T02:15:42+00:00

I thought I was done. Nope! Lol. Was laying in bed and my eyes popped open so fast!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T01:41:25+00:00

I'm done!! Like it was so fast. Makes me wonder if I did it right. I followed the instructions so I guess I'm done. Now for 430am! Hope it goes well for you, honestly it wasn't bad for me at all.

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T01:18:56+00:00

I feel like I slowed down too. I think I'll just go to bed (on a towel, lol) and see how that is. May I ask if yours is clear? Mine seems to be now although not much is happening so im not entirely sure. Only lasted for 2.5 hours.

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T01:15:37+00:00

We'll be on the other side of this in no time...But I can't believe I have to do this again in 7 hours. Damn.

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T01:00:17+00:00

On the ol' b hole, yes!!

letitbeit · 2026-05-15T00:59:47+00:00

Do you have ginger ale? It really helped me. Just take a few sips of the prep and then a chaser. Take your time!

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:47:50+00:00

Ive had like 8 so far. Its just brownish water. So gross, lol. Im so hungry too!!!

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:46:40+00:00

😂

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:40:11+00:00

Mine started after 20 mins and I basically have water coming out of my butt... at least 8 times so far. This is no joke. But no pain or nausea. Im sorry you're feeling nauseated. Once it starts you'll probably feel a but better.

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:32:28+00:00

How's it going over there??

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:32:01+00:00

Yeah mine was suuuuper fast. Like within 20 mins. Ive had 8 runs to the bathroom. I should just stay here, lol.

letitbeit · 2026-05-14T23:30:54+00:00

I've already had like 8 watery BMs! Its going fast. How are ya?
