Gastro encouraging mac sedation for colonoscopy. should i feel comfortable w him even tho i decided for twilight sedation as suggested by primary md?

Feel comfortable: The gastro specialist I am sure does the procedure often and is familiar with the type of sedation that would be safe. Feel comfortable and ask the docs why the have different opinions on the sedation. Best wishes.
