I had to have one recently & while not pleasant it wasn't as bad as I thought. I honestly hardly felt the camera being inserted. The worst bit for me was the air they inject through the tube to open up the bowel for a clear view. That felt like a bad case of 'trapped wind', but no worse. I had 'gas & air' rather than a sedative as they let you out quicker.
Good luck & don't worry too much!
