A normal colonoscopy takes about 20 minutes. I have a severely redundant colon and my gastro doctor took 60 minutes to do it. I also didn't clear out completely, even with an extra day of prep. Somehow it was dealth with.
Some folks in this discussion group have a longer prep procedure -- I will try that next time when I am due. With a history of colon cancer in your family, your doctor should be taking the extra time to navigate your colon.
