Twice, for my wisdom teeth and my colonoscopy. The first time I didn't feel anything and I was out as soon as he put the drug in the IV. I blinked and woke up in the waiting room afterwards. I was groggy and my cheeks were packed with gauze, but I was fine after that
For the colonoscopy I felt the slight chill in my veins, and it felt like I was giving into a very deep sleep that I really wanted. However I was exhausted from shitting my brains out the night before so I definitely did want to sleep lmao.
When I woke up I felt a little high and super well rested, it was great, like I had just smoked a small bowl. One thing they don't tell you about colonoscopies until the day of is that they put air up there as the camera goes up so they can see inside more clearly, and you "expel" all that air when you wake up.
The nurse told me the procedure was finished as I came to and as I lay there high and half asleep, I RIP HUGE ASS. I'm holding in laughter like a little kid because fart jokes are still funny especially when I'm high lmao.
I get into the car and my gf has a sandwich waiting for me. I hadn't eaten solid food in about 24 hours and I was still kind of high. Best fucking sandwich of my life.
"I was groggy and my cheeks were picked with gauze" could apply to either procedure, one with horrifying implications.
Here they offer you CO2 instead of air. Gets mostly absorbed and much less farting.
