re: I just had a colonoscopy this morning with Propofol, and damn that is one powerful drug

Bet $100 an anesthesiologist didn’t actually do your anesthesia. Probably a nurse anesthetist.

There was an anesthesiologist there during pre-op, but a nurse anesthetist put me under.
What’s funny is that I was freaking out about what I would say after waking up. Last time I had surgery was wisdom teeth removal at 18. I woke up flirting with the nurses and apparently flexed for them and said god knows what at that age.
I expected to do something similar but instead threw a few punches and shoved them away.

The medical center I had it done at had a shortage of CRNAs, so an anesthesiologist did mine

You aren’t asleep. It’s technically a forced coma, which is why there’s no sense of time passing.

They’ve done medical studies and found that people who received propofol during minor non-surgical procedures reported higher feelings of euphoria compared to people who received propofol for surgical procedures.
“Propofol--induced euphoria is more common in patients undergoing short or painless surgeries, such as gastric or gastrointestinal endoscopy (3, 10–12).”

It felt like I was reborn. When I woke up I felt high as a kite and couldn’t stop laughing because of how good it felt.
You got the one with the happy ending, congrats on the free prostate massage.

sounds like you have a system with very low tolerance, which may or may not be a bad thing
I have a very high tolerance for anesthetics and it is a terrible thing to have. I woke up on the table when they were finishing taking my gall bladder out. And dentists often have trouble getting me numb and don't believe me until I jump in the chair and show them. A root canal I had was particularly horrifying.
But Propofol was awesome when I had my latest colonoscopy. The paperwork showed it was actually a drug cocktail with a smidgen of Fentanyl. The Fentanyl was a surprise.

Come to think of it, I’m due for my annual prostate exam. Thanks for reminding me

Can confirm.
Knocks you out in 2 seconds and then you wake up and feel incredible for the remainder of the afternoon. Like you just had the best sleep ever and you are in a great mood.

dang.
My doc told me to shite in a box and UPS it out. So I did.
Regarding waking up post being put under, I've done this twice and each time I'm a maniac. Pulling shite out of my arms and ready to fight the world. Don't have any idea why.

I don't get what that stuff is for, they say if you come back with positive to go get a colonoscopy

Exactly. That’s why you should just go ahead and do the full colonoscopy and get it over with.

I took the pills
My colonoscopy was scheduled for 0700
I took 12 pills at 6 o’clock the afternoon before and the other 12 at 2am, I didn’t sleep all night. shite my brains out
Got to the clinic at 0630 was still shitting
I did the liquid prep. Took it at 5:30 pm, didn’t start working until 11 pm. Then it was Katie, bar the door. I was shitting stuff out I swear my great-grandfather ate. But by 8 am, I was pretty much flushed out.

Anesthesiologist pulls out a syringe full of the milk of amnesia, infuses it into my IV, asks me to count from ten, and then everything goes black
I had a colonoscopy in December and this part scared the shite out of me (not literally, no pun intended).
Once the plunger started going down, I briefly thought about the fact that I could die during the procedure and might not ever wake up. Luckily, the drug is so powerful that I was knocked out before I could panic too much.

You were probably high from knowing someone put a tool in your arse while you were sleeping.

I've done the liquid, and the pills most recently. I think I'll do the liquid next time. The pills nauseated me really bad. Plus you still have to drink a barrel of water with either.
