Chester,
I've had a colonoscopy, and I think it's pretty common practice for the
patient to be anesthetized. When mine was done, a drug called Versed
was used. Versed is a short acting anesthetic/amnestic - a drug that
sedates you and prevents any memory of the procedure. I woke up after
it was done, and after about a half hour to be really awake and "with
it," got dressed and went home. I was kind of sleepy for a couple of
hours, but the worst part of the procedure was definitely the prep.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.
