GI doc in UT supports colonoscopy sedation-free?

[candlecalm]

. I had gas and gas pain for many years and had bad experience using sedation. I have to do EGD and colonoscopy, But I have seen several doctors in ut, all they only use sedation for my colonoscope and EGD.  Anybody know a  GI doc in UT supports colonoscopy sedation-free?  I really appreciate that

Thanks for your response. I already asked my treating doctor and he did know any doctor can do that for me. In order to find a doctor in UT to do the my procedure without sedation, I have waited for 4 months. It seems hard, I  keep looking for one. Blessing

Hi, studies done suggest that carefully performed sedation-free colonoscopy rarely causes complications and is well accepted by most patients. Sedation-free colonoscopy is more cost-effective, may be safer, and should be offered as an alternative to colonoscopy with sedation. You can check with your treating doctor he may be able to guide you appropriately. Regards.
