My wife has had two, because she has diverticulitus. Both times she was knocked out and knew nothing. She said the worst was the aggravation of cleaning out and a little getting rid of the gas after the procedure. This wasn't as much of a problem the second time, I think becuase of a better Dr.
I think there are two kinds.... one a colonoscopy and another that doesn't go all the way up. They don't sedate you for the second. The full sedation is like going to an oral surgeon with IV sedation while the type for regular surgery is when they stop your breathing with gas.
