Human: My doctor wants to perform a colonoscopy on me. What should I expect after the procedure? Assistant: 
After the procedure, you will likely feel some discomfort and cramping in your abdomen. You may also experience nausea or vomiting due to the sedative given during the procedure. Your doctor will monitor you closely for any complications that may arise. The recovery process can take up to two weeks. During this time, you should follow your doctor’s instructions regarding diet, activity level, medications, and other activities.
