Unless there is some medical contraindication, the usual manner of performing a colonoscopy includes sedation and someone to drive you home. They frequently use midazolam (Versed) which has some amnestic properties and most people don’t remember much about the procedure. The DO however tend to remember the bowel prep.

when I had mine , they called a “dreamlike” state and while they removed a number of polyps including a large one, I did not have any discomfort.

However in this dreamlike state the VP did whisper into my ear and I woke up with a whole new conservative attitude. Duh Da Dum Dum.
