@becsbuddy My last colonoscopy in 2015, they waited to tell me until I checked in that having a taxi take me home was not good enough. So, because I didn't want to reschedule and do the prep again, I had the procedure without sedation. Dr told me I get a gold star.

Hi, @gingerw I give you a gold star for sure! ✨

I was in a similar position with an upper endoscopy and went through it w/o sedation. I heard that going through a colonoscopy w/o sedation would have been much worse.
