They will put you to sleep by giving you sedation. You will be put under deep sedation to general anesthesia. Immediately after the procedure they will take you to the recovery room until you are completely awake. Make sure you have someone will drive you back home. Thank you.
If by Colonoscopy then conscious sedation, otherwise General.
I think you mean that you will have a colonoscopy. Sedation for a colonoscopy is usually IV sedation with midazolam or propofol.
