A member asked:
I do a colonoscopy tomorrow and was very nervous how long does the dr put u to sleep for and do u find out any info the same day?

You are sedated during the whole procedure and you won’t remember any of it. You will turn onto your side in the procedure room and then you will be given medicine in an IV and you will then wake up in the recovery room. The doctor will give you the results of the procedure once you are awake and it will also be on a paper you take home with you. Hope this lessens your nervousness! Good luck!
