I have a colonoscopy and endoscopy soon. what i can expect to happen? i have strong social anxiety so i'd also like to know the personal side as well.

You will: Be asleep. The doctor will carefully insert a long tube with a lens at the end that allows him to see, and a tiny forceps that takes biopsies the size of a pencil tip. There may be a drop or two of blood, but it won't cause pain. You may feel some discomfort from the gas used to inflate the bowels to see what he's doing, but it goes away with passing gas. You can likely eat and drink afterwards.
