What kind?  The kind where you starve yourself the day before, cleanse
your system with laxatives and foul tasting grog, sh.t water, and then
the next morning they stick a scope up your a.s and explore the inside
of your large intestine.  What other kind is there?

The worst part is drinking the grog.  The scope part is a walk in the
park.  Word of wise to any and all of you undergoing your first:  it
is a simple, painless (if uncomfortable) procedure, and they generally
perform it while your awake though stoned out on downers so you don't
whine and  complain.

After a huge invasive operation like RP, how can you possibly be
apprehensive about a benign little procedure as this?

My colonoscopies didn't really bother me wide awake as long as I kept
the gas moving to prevent pressure buildup. My wide-awake endoscopies
varied from uncomfortable if normal to aborted when my gag reflex went
overboard. The esophageal dilation was a bear but bearable. But what I
will never do again wide awake is a bladder scope; THAT felt like it was
done with a crowbar . . . while they tried to touch the bar to my
forehead while its other end was in my bladder.
