    @shayman Two things worth knowing:
    1. The most popular anesthetic for this procedure is Fentanyl. When the nurse told me this (afterward) I freaked out a bit, after all it’s killing people every day in my hometown; it had never occurred to her that this might bother someone.
    2. The cleanout PegLyte process is unpleasant and I have found it helpful to remember, toward the end of the process, that white wine is a clear fluid.

    @timbray @shayman if they offer the option to be conscious during the procedure, do not take that option.

    Because then it is quite painful and uncomfortable.

    Learn from my mistake.

    @bynkii @shayman Disagree. I have had a few of these and on several occasions have woken up and enjoyed the TV show featuring my squeaky-clean lower intestines.

    @timbray @shayman good for you? Mine was uncomfortable AF from start to finish. Next time am getting knocked TF out, that local did nothing.

    @timbray Fentanyl, huh. I did not know that, but next time I'll ask.

    White wine is a useful tip, thank you. Whoever put the 'Fruit flavour' label on the PegLyte bottle is having a good laugh. Whatever ‘fruit' that is the flavour of, I never want to find out.
