kelly, I had a colonscopy when I was 20 years old (2 years ago) and the only "uncomfortable" part for me was not being able to eat anything the whole day! I was starving!! Then the stuff I had to drink to make me "go" the night before the test was DISGUSTING!!!!! It was the worst thing I ever tasted! I would take running to the bathroom with pain all day over drinking that stuff again!! Anyway, you go in the hospital, they put an IV in my arm and then when they wheeled me in the "operating" room, I immediately fell asleep with the IV medicine in me. I do not remember ONE thing at all! It's like it didn't even happen. I ended up sleeping all the rest of the day because the medicine makes you so tired!! Someone will definitely have to drive you home! All in all, it is not that bad. trust me, I am a total baby, too!
