To summarize, sigmoidoscopies are usually done without anesthetic so it is more uncomfortable. the scope does not travel as far up the colon as for a colonoscopy.

Colonoscopies are done with what is called conscious sedation. Whether you are asleep or awake, you are basically so loopy that you don’t notice the discomfort. You are not knocked out as under a general anesthetic. A general anesthetic is more dangerous, so it is not used unless necessary, such as for surgery.

the first joke could be turned into a riddle, although only for a person’s first colonoscopy.

Doc, how is this procedure like Star Trek? You are about to go where no one has gone before.

After my routine procedure I told my wife, “Well they didn’t find cancer, but they found Jimmy Hoffa.” She thought that was funny. Maybe I should update that to Osama ben Laden.

Ok, I’ve had 2 colonoscopies one at 28 and one at this year at 33. Both were done with sedation, however, it did not knock me out, I watched the whole procedure on the screen and remember everything. It was just uncomfortable but did not hurt. I even talked to my doctor asking him questions throughout. So, yes you can be awake even given sedation and my doctor told me he gave me the maximum amount for my weight which is 128. Sometimes the sedation works but for the rest of us anxious need to knows it does not!

As some one who recently had a colonoscopy I thought the jokes were hilarious! And, as an added bit of info, a lot of people have sigmoidscopies, which are almost always done without sedation. Colonoscopies are almost always done with. And the two procedures are worlds apart! But perhaps some on here are confusing them.

Another funny was a guy (real story) who had colonoscopy done by physician friend asked doctor if he could have music other than “Dancing Queen” playing… Doc asked if he wanted him to increase the volume of the music, then the patient went under the anesthesia

Well, thankfully i havnt had to undergo this procedure myself – YET, that is (definitely dont want 2 speak too soon please!), but the people I had talked to who did do it, did say they were given sedatives n that they hardly felt anything since they were asleep for the most part… but of course like I sed, experiences can vary n different doctors may even follow different protocols as well… so my apologies if I offended any1 please..
