This is an exam of your large intestine, or colon, using a flexible tube that will be placed into your rectum. This tube has a light and camera at the end of it, and your gastroenterologist will check your colon for abnormal growths or other problems.  \nThis test helps your doctor diagnose illnesses and make plans for treatment if needed. At Stanford Health Care, we strive to perform the safest and most careful exam for every patient. A colonoscopy may take longer for some patients than for others. As a result, your exam may not be performed at the exact time you were scheduled. We ask you for your patience. Please allow 3 to 4 hours from check-in time for your visit.  \nYou may need to make changes to your daily medicines  \nIf you take medicines for diabetes, call the doctor who manages your diabetes to discuss how to manage your medicines for this procedure.
