After a colonoscopy, what can i expect?

Nothing particular: It is a painless procedure...So most people feel fine. If a polyp was found, it will likely be removed. That too is painless. But there can be some minor bleeding if there was a biopsy done but that too is rare.Hopefully you get good news that you do not have cancer in the colon.

Tired: Most people who have a colonoscopy who had sedation, will state that they were tired, possibly hungry, or even their normal selves.
