I had one once. For me, the hard part was not eating the day before. The prep was so disgusting, I put it in Gatorade which I don’t typically drink. So I was struggling to drink this disgusting drink, holding my nose to try to get it down without tasting it.
I had it done in the office of the GI doctor. He had a little room with the bed in it, and the anesthesiologist puts you right to sleep and then you wake up and you’re outta there.
Once the procedure was over, I could eat and I was back to normal. Yeah someone had to drive me. I think my friend drove me and we had lunch, and then he took me to my car, which was outside the doctor’s office LOL. They just knew that someone was there to take me from their office. Two hours later when he took me back to my car, the doctor’s staff was not involved and did not know that I was picking up my car.
It didn’t hurt afterwards, but the whole thing taking two days out of my life is a big pain in the ass, if you’ll pardon the pun. I’m sure in the future they will come up with some type of accurate test that doesn’t take two days.
