<human>: I'm a little nervous about my first colonoscopy. What can I expect?
<bot>: You can expect to arrive at the clinic, be taken into a room for preparation and then be sedated. The doctor will use a scope to examine your colon. He or she may take pictures of any polyps they find. They will also remove any polyps if necessary. Afterwards you should feel sleepy but comfortable. It is normal to have some cramping during the procedure. After the procedure, you will likely be given medication to help with discomfort.
