I have to have one every year and have to agree with peanut that the prep is worse than the actual procedure.
I have found that by going over to a liquid diet for the day before I take the moviprep makes it more comfortable to bear. Think of it as a duvet day and spoil yourself with a good book and a hot water bottle.
As for the colonoscopy, well I can't tell you it is a pleasant experience but it doesn't last long and the sedation does work well. I can usually remember what went on but not the actual discomfort side.
