when I die during my Colonoscopy next week. 
I mean, she has admin so she has the tools to carry on.
I know darn well Colonoscopies are routine and they almost always go well, but I hate, and I mean HATE going under anesthesia. I dont like the loss of control and it makes me worry.
Anywho, in the event of my untimely demise, sayonara and all.
Jeeez, that’s morbid.
How many people die from colonoscopy’s?
Deaths directly caused by colonoscopy are very rare.
Most studies estimate the risk of death at roughly 1 to 3 deaths per 100,000 colonoscopies (about 0.001%–0.003%). Some studies have found rates as high as about 1 death per 10,000–15,000 procedures, particularly in older patients or when polyps are removed.
The main causes of serious complications are:
To put the risk in perspective:
If you’re asking because you’re considering having a colonoscopy, I can also explain how the risks change based on your age, health conditions, and whether it’s a screening exam or one involving polyp removal.
Why are you getting a colonoscopy?
AI I assume.
Yes, I am aware that it is very rare. However, I have a fear of anesthesia and being put under it. Joan rivers had an incident where she died during a routine endoscopy, for example.
I logically know its not likely, but I still have the willies about it.
Death by ass. Sorry.
Because I’m 53 and had polyps during my first one. I was supposed to have another quite some time ago but delayed.
Do you have to drink something that makes you poop a lot the day before?
Oh ok. Well best of luck to you. I had anesthesia last Saturday and I’m still recovering
Yes, I have to take 2 forms of laxitives. One pill and one powder. That part sucks as well. Cant eat for like 30 hours or so.
I believe you can have jello or chicken broth ask your dr
If it’s the camera up the butt then it’s not too bad, I’ve had that had that twice. still here, lol
Yes, this is the second for me as well. No its not too bad. The prep sucks…but like I said, I have a fear of anesthesia.
I don’t think I had anaesthesia.
interesting. I have seen where they have these procedures for some folks under milder drugs that do not put them fully under. During mine I have been fully knocked out though.l
Wish you well @SzSupportAdmin ,come back with good results ..
oh before you know it , you’ll wake up and they will waiting for you to pass gas…the end of the test…good luck…I don’t mind being put under…sorry it scares you.
All the best! I hope you find a way to relax; fears are hard to deal with.
Take some deep breaths before the session
You’ll be ok. I’m sorry you are scared. Maybe ask for a form of anesthesia that doesn’t cause loss of consciousness??? I know someone who was awake for his colonoscopy
Scared might be too strong of a word, but it is giving me the heebee jeebees a bit. I don’t know if I have a choice of anesthesia but I suppose I could ask.
Dude.
I was supposed to/planned to have a D&C this coming Monday…
It’s where they put you to sleep, forcefully dilate your cervix and then scrape out your uterus 
(I was having issues with postpartum stuff. I’ll save yall the details)
But those issues have completely disappeared now…
Soooo… I’m totally not gonna get that procedure done now…
