The second one they found a polyp and took it out. Both times were easy except for the prep which was less than fun. I agree, there's nothing to be scared of with this procedure. Both times I had phentonyl and versed (a synthetic narcotic and a hypnotic) which was fine but now they generally use an anesthesiologist and a single drug that puts you out and brings you back very quickly. I hope they give me that next time as the versed was kind of funny for my wife to witness wearing off: I repeated myself for a few hours. I’m 56 and have already had two of these as well.

The procedure itself is nothing. You are out like a light. It's the prep that sucks ass, so to speak... Nothing more fun that shitting 35 times in one night and then hoping you can make it to the facility. So, stop being a pussy and just get it done. I’m 40 and already have had two of these.
