i've never woken up during any of my procedures, but then again, i respond very well to drugs.

told my parents about my colonoscopy. my stepfather has crohn's so has had his fair share of colonoscopies. they told me that if i couldn't drink the 3-4 liters of that PEG liquid that there are other ways of doing it. my stepfather took 2 small bottles of liquid, plus the dolcolax, which sounds like what i did the first time i had a colonoscopy. so could go that route if i really couldn't get it down. but have to admit, even though the drinking was worse, the cleaning out process was better. this PEG liquid really did work well. within just a few hours the process was over. so yes, the drinking got harder and harder, but the other part wasn't so bad.
