How long will it take? The colonoscopy itself only takes about 30 minutes. The prep begins at home the evening before the procedure. The morning of your colonoscopy youâll spend about three hours at the clinic or hospital. Then youâll return home to rest for the remainder of the day. You can usually return to your usual activities the next day.
