Re: Colonoscopy with propofol

I've had Versed multiple times and never had a problem with it. However my sister had it and said she work up in the middle of a procedure.

I don't like being knocked out! I'm baby 😆! I always get the versed and fentanyl. Conscious sedation. Never had a problem with it. You can tell them you want that.

Re: Colonoscopy with propofol

I had a colonoscopy yesterday with Benadryl and Versed as the anesthesia. I won't agree to that again. I did wake up...which was no big deal...but I was extremely woozy and could barely walk after. It stayed in my system and I could feel the effects until I went to bed. Today I was fine. I had propofol for previous colonoscopies and no problems.

 

Everyone reacts differently. My insurance paid for both kinds of anesthesia.

Re: Colonoscopy with propofol

Had propofol with a total colonscopy (both endo and colo)  Always takes me a long time to wake up.   This last time right after we went to get some groceries and I got a lot of different food and snacks . but this time I got some prepared food items.  my first colonoscopy we went shopping after and I cooked a whole meal.
