No reason not to. You will be given instructions for preparation for your colonoscopy, including fasting (not eating) using a laxative to clean out your intestinal system, and drinking a LOT of Gatorade and apple juice. You need to follow those instructions exactly, or the staff will not be able to do your procedure. You ARE going to spend a lot of time sitting in the bathroom during your prep. Take along a couple of books, and a pack of baby wet wipes. Really.
