What to expect after a colonoscopy. Most people are ready to go home after resting for half an hour or so. You may need to stay a bit longer for observation if you have had any small lumps of tissue (polyps) removed. If you have had a sedative - you may take a bit longer to be ready to go home.

I hated the Moviprep...although i didn`t take the 4th sachet, as my stools were clear/watery,...my bowels returned to normal in about 3 days. Maybe yours will take a bit longer if you took all the sachets..i`m sure it will be fine.
