Colonoscopy tomorrow. saw dr oz and other celebs get theirs but still scared?

Nothing to be scared: About. Should take 20-30 minutes, shouldn't feel or remember anything and if normal will give you tremendous comfort and security. If positive, best to find problems early when there are good solutions and good outcomes.
