I had one two weeks ago. There was no Anesthesiologist - and not even a Nurse Anesthetist - just an RN who gave some sort of sedative. I was awake for the procedure but woozy- did get to peek up at the monitor and see that contrary to popular belief, I am not full of ...it. It was outpatient, even though they took biopsies. The procedure itself was nothing- don't worry about it at all- very simple and not uncomfortable or irritating or really noticeable.
FYI, depending on what they're doing, your bowel prep is the difficult part- mine involved drinking 4 litres of electrolyte over the course of a few hours, which eventually passes through your system without changing in appearance. You're clean throughout. I couldn't choke it all down, so I got Magnesium Citrate in place of the last litre. It was far better tasting, had a slightly sparkling fizziness, and again made it all the way through me without changing appearance. If it's an option, I'd go for the Mag. Citrate directly rather than trying to drink the nasty electrolyte again.
Haven't got the bill yet, but I believe it will be covered by my insurance completely.
