It’s recommended that you have someone with you afterwards. You should be fine depending on how you recover after anesthesia. Me, I go out to breakfast with my hubby!

In my state and through my provider, I can waive all sedation. This allows me to arrive and leave alone. While not for everyone, taking the procedure wide awake wasn't a problem for me.

You need a person to come in with you to give your name and number. You can't use Lyft or cab. You'll still be under the influence of the anesthesia.

First of all, a thirty-something shouldn’t need a colonoscopy.

Of course, if you can convince them not to do sedation, you'll not only greatly reduce the risk of the procedure, you'll be able to leave on your own. That's normal in much of the world.

You have to have person pick you up. They don't want to risk someone assaulting you.

Going is usually fine but going home you need someone you know and trust. They won’t put you on a Lyft after anesthesia

Depends on your age and your Dr

Some places may be able to provide a medical transport service. Just ask them their policy

Good question. Been puttin my own off for too long because of the same reasons. They state for mine Said driver has to be there w when I get there and for the entire time! Good luck
