You will be fine.
Haha, believe me your bowel will empty following the medication they give you.
The actual scope treatment is a breeze with the worst bit being the needle they put in. if you get to see the screen it is jolly interesting although you forget so much of what happened it is a bit like a dream. From what you describe all will show up fine. It will be great to know.
???? - I had a hassle most of my life where my tension inside (I get like that) causes an Irritable Bowel Syndrome and this causes a lot of misery and pain inside. My symptoms sound pretty similar to many of the threads you place here!? YUK - It is awful to live with. It took me a great deal of sorting out my lifestyle to calm things down. Actually for myself a nasty motorbike accident when young (almost a year in hospital fixing a smashed up leg) started my bowel hassles and any ongoing stress later in life would just set it off. Life is to be enjoyed.
All the best.

*Decided to live to 100 as I will get a telegram from Her Majesty the Queen when 100yrs old. I so, so want one.
Am a Salvation Army chap so I complete 'knee drill' (prayer) to the Commander in Chief often. For myself personally this helps me through.
