Relax as much as you can. There isn't really anything to be afraid of. It's weird, and it will be uncomfortable, but no where near the discomfort you have been in for a while. Seriously.
Afterwards you will wake up with OMG TERRIBLE AND AMAZING WIND. This will go on for about 40 minutes and then be more "a lot of wind" for the next few hours. They *inflate* your colon (but not horrendously much, like a balloon or anything), and that air all has to come out. It's not a big deal. Just don't be surprised by it.
When I had mine done, I was mostly awake for the majority of it, so I got to see the camera. They will turn it for you so you can watch too, often. It's sort of interesting to see yourself from the inside.
Did I mention to relax? Cause it's the key. the more relaxed you can be about and during, the easier and fast it goes.
