your colonoscopy is usually done with minimal anesthesia and you will be conscious within half an hour after the procedure. You need some one to take you home and you will be fully able to do anything the following morning G Luck

Keep first visit as it is if possible, colonoscopy can be postponed later if needed, there are massive delays due to the pandemic to begin with.
