Colonoscopy experience: what should I expect?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent private clinic for getting a rectoscopy done. Also, I’m curious if the whole diet and bowel prep routine is actually necessary before the procedure itself. I came across this note on one private clinic's website: “No bowel preparation is required for this exam; in fact, we don't recommend it. There are two main reasons: first, it can cause mucosal irritation leading to false positives, and second, it might wash away traces of blood from higher up in the colon, which would mean missing critical data.”
Thanks

Bates Medical Clinic. The price is $200 including the exam—honestly, you better have your life savings ready.

Thanks, Sean Hall6. I suppose I should also ask if you could recommend a private clinic for a colonoscopy.
Thanks

Look, you can find all that stuff right at Bates 😉, plus they've got their own website online if you actually want to go take a look!

There’s already a thread about colonoscopies floating around here, probably on the first or second page. You can find everything there, but honestly, you might want to skip reading it🙂. I just spent three days prepping and then almost passed out from hunger while waiting in line at the clinic... easily the worst experience of my entire life
