WHAT HAPPENS AFTER COLONOSCOPY?
After the test, you will be monitored in the endoscopy area until most of the effects of the medication have worn off. You may have some cramping or bloating of air introduced into your colon during the test. This should disappear quickly with passage of flatus (gas). In most circumstances, your doctor can inform you of your test results on the day of the procedure; however, the results of any biopsies or cytology samples will take several days.
