is sedation safe
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi I'm having my colonoscopy tomorrow and am dreading it. But I am a bit frightened about the sedation. Also having to drink all the moviprep after reading some of the posts, dr only referred me to the hospital on wednesday and got phone call yesterday to say come in sunday, its worrying me it being so quick, sorry for rambling on.

I twice had X-Prep that was to be taken at 4pm. Not knowing how it would act I left work at 3pm in case of having an accident on the train going home.
I don't understand why all hospitals have their favourite laxative and all taken at different times and with different dietary advice.
Make sure that you drink plenty up to the deadline. I was not supposed to drink after 6am but slept till 7.45 and could not have anything then as a result I was dehydrated.

Our local NHS often do evening and weekend appointments. I had a CT scan on a Saturday afternoon.

Don't worry about the sedation just get as much as they'll give you (It's lovely) I had no problem with the movirep..2 little sachets, not peasant but ok. and completely clears you. Good luck and keep us updated
