[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update: this is OP. I had the colonoscopy which found two 8mm sissile polyps, tubular adenomas. I don’t have to go back for five years.

The procedure was much worse than I anticipated (and I wasn’t expecting it to be easy). I was very sick from either the sedative or the pain killers, with severe nausea, and I’d probably look to see if there is an alternative to the prep regimen I took. But at least I don’t have to do it again for five years.[/quote]

What sort of anesthesia was it? propofol  or fentanyl?[/quote]

Fentanyl. And also Midazolam. I have previously reacted badly to opioids (which I made clear) so I’m not sure why they gave me fentanyl.[/quote]

This is OP again. Thinking about this more and getting annoyed that it was avoidable. Fentanyl is an opioid, right? I literally had a band on my wrist saying that I was allergic to opioid derivatives. So I shouldn’t have been given fentanyl, should I? Or does it not count? I don’t think it’s technically an allergy but they make me vomit, which is what happened. The nurse said don’t worry we’ll give you anti nausea medicine but it does nothing, probably because it’s my head that is spinning not my stomach that’s upset. I didn’t realize this meant they were ignoring the band on my wrist.[/quote]
