I thought it was a breeze when I had my upper endoscopy done. the Dr. told me he was going to spray my throat to freeze it then when he tells me too just swallow as if you are drinking water. I did swallow with no problems. I even watched the tube go down which was pretty cool!! Only when he started to pull out the tube did I feel like gagging.Normal reflex. Waited for about an hour in recovery for the freezing to leave and I didn't even have a sore throat. Now with a colonscopy; only thing I didn't like (I'm sure no one does) is the prep. the night before. Too much liquid to drink and too much time in the bathroom as if a person with D. needs this. But the scope itself, didn't feel a thing as I was put under. Just some bleeding (possibly from my UC) and gas!! Just go home and like someone suggested put in a movie and relax. Sue
