I had a double whammy a few months ago when I had mine. My father died of colon cancer (colon to liver to brain), so I & my sisters were advised to get them.
I finally decided to ask for one through Kaiser. The prep was as everyone says. I only had a mild sedative and was awake. When the doctor started feeding that thing up there, it went just so far & started hurting. The doctor said he had to stop because of moderately severe diverticulosis.
So following that they sceduled me for a barium enima, which required me to go through a similar but less extensive prep. You get a tube shoved up your a$$ and they pump air in there along with the barium. They didn't find anything, but my doctor said my father probably had diverticulosis also and advised me to make sure I had enough fiber in my diet.
So there may be other things you should be made aware of.
