I have one pretty much yearly. You have to make sure not to eat the wrong things (like seeds, nuts) several days before and then the day before eat very light food and stop around noon. Then take the laxatives in the evening and again the next day about 4 hours ahead of your procedure. The worst part to me in all of this is really drinking that cup of laxatives. The sedation (for me) has always been dosed well enough that I feel fine within 30-60 minutes after waking up. Although you can't operate a car or other machinery for the rest of the day. But I also don't have to work on those days, so it's a relaxing day to me.
