Hi quiltmom,
I had to have this procedure done recently, and , although not the nicest thing to have done - it is not that bad.
My tips would be to follow the directions your given to clear your system and drink plenty of water as directed to ensure you don't get dehydrated.
I was given a drug to sedate me and the only thing a bit uncomfortable was they put some air into you so that they can see better and that did give me some "gas" spasm - but all tolerable !
Don't worry and good luck !!
Dotty D.
Peppermint tea helps get rid of the gas spasms
all the best Quiltmom
