Re: colonoscopyFrom: Angie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue Jun 19 23:10:54 2007
I had a similar experience, They gave me a few different meds too but I don't remember what they were. The bowel prep was pretty bad. I don't remember the actual colonoscopy except for a small part. I woke up halfway through in incredible pain but they put me back out pretty much right away. Then when I woke up at the end I was crying. They said it was probably the anesthesia. I dont remember but my husband said I was balling. -Angie At Tue, 19 Jun 2007, D wrote: > >My experience was similar to Josie's - they did both procedures but gave >me fentanyl and versed, and I don't remember anything from after I went >under to when I woke up.
