I just had conscious sedation done today for 2 teeth and let me tell you, I have TERRIBLE anxiety… when i arrived and sat in the chair I was shaking I was so scared but when they put in the IV in my arm and injected the sedation drug, i INSTANTLY felt it kick in and i don’t even remember going to sleep! It felt like i dosed off for a few minutes and woke up and it was all done!!! No pain either!!! Great and effective way of surgery 100/10 guys, don’t worry at all 😁😁😁

I got sedated today for a colonoscopy and endoscopy and let me tell you, you will be OUT within seconds after you receive the sedation. It is very nice and comfortable like you floating on a cloud.

My first colonoscopy is Friday. Thank you for positive comments. I'm nervous but it could save my life so I'm happy about it 😊♥️

The benefit of concious sedation is they can hear you scream.

Legit the idea of still being conscious during a general anesthetic

I finally figured what I was sedated with during my endoscopy. It was an okay and peaceful experience. All I was thinking about was I was a tiny bit nauseous and needed to puke but I couldn't speak so I tugged on my doctor's apron 😅 And no you don't get high or anything. You will just feel peaceful.

I had this last week for a colonoscopy. I was way anxious before the procedure, once the anesthesiology nurse administered the versed and fentanyl, it was like I was answering her questions then she said I was all done!. It was like I never even closed my eyes, like nothing happened. It hit so quickly I didn't feel anything change!

I am in a level 7 pain constantly with intercystial cystitis and low back pain sciatica from an L5s1 herniation..I am having bladder distention, bladder fulgeration and a scope all done on Wednesday this week. Please tell me I won't feel the burning of my bladder lining. I have been informed my pain will be worse for about a week afterwards.

Relatively painless? Oh geeze...and the music doesn't make it less scary

Was not aware at all. The room started to spin like i had too much to drink. I fell asleep for what felt like 10min. The anesthesiologist woke me up 2h later and i was walking out 15min after that.

I wish I had had a clinic like this. Previously, I had two colonoscopies with conscious sedation and one with no sedation. No sedation was the best! Last time though, despite my objections, I was put to sleep entirely. I woke up depressed, angry with the doctor and nurse, angry with myself for consenting, just feeling lousy. As it wore off some, I could feel discomfort in the abdomen that I hadn't had after previous colonoscopies, as if my bowel had been handled more roughly, so I took acetaminophen. By the third day I was starting to feel more normal. I'm on the fourth day now and really trying to forget how bad it was. But never again will I consent to be knocked out for no good reason!

I have anxiety attack. I get really anxious with the senstaions due to sedation. Will administration of sedation severe my anxiety during the procedure?

Yes

Just had this done to get my shoulder back in place…I was out completely

Ive had colonoscopies and an endoscopy. There is no difference from this and normal surgery. I do have to say that for the "twilight sleep" i have a slight memory of choking on the tube for the endoscopy. And i mean a memory so you dont feel it you just may have a memory. Thats it. So its nothing. Please dont be as scared as i was because i feel stupid now lol.
