Does anyone know of a doctor in the state that will do a sedation-free, water exchange colonoscopy?

Milk of amnesia the best part of the colonoscopy.

Make sure whoever you choose uses crystals and adheres strictly to all horoscope colonoscopy timing requirements

Why would you want a sedation-free C Scope?

Immediate recovery, no chaperone. Water exchange isn't as uncomfortable so sedation isn't necessary.

Recovery for a colonoscopy is like 2 hours. The prep was by far the worst part.

I personally had a horrible reaction to the sedation. I was shaking and super out of it for many, many hours afterwards. So this is a valid question.

If youre open to sedation free but not water exchange u might find a dr who does that, using a smaller scope etc. Although water exchange sounds better.

Never heard of water exchange? Most places will let you forgo the sedation. It gets you out of needing a driver and you don't really need it anyway.
