Its anesthesia normal for a colonoscopy?

You're not given anesthesia for a colonoscopy unless you're very senior and old and cannot follow a doctor's questioning so they do it to protect the elderly and senile patient from freaking out and running with the tube up their ass still.

No I’ve been knocked out for every one of my colonoscopies since I got an intestinal disease in my 20s. I don’t know a single person in my group who doesn’t receive anesthesia before a colonoscopy. Not one.

Just like the article linked here by someone else who most likely didn’t even read that article, it is extremely common practice to anesthetize or sedate someone before even a routine colonoscopy. There are some in the United States were trying to change that practice because it’s unnecessary in their eyes because in other parts of the world they do not follow that procedure. But yes, for almost all people undergoing a colonoscopy, young or otherwise, routine or otherwise, they are knocked out for the procedure. Not everyone but most.

And look, if this was some stupid conspiracy to try to get him out of the way by saying he needed to be sedated or knocked out, why would they pick a procedure for which anesthesia or sedation isn’t common? Why wouldn’t they just say he needed surgery? They could invent 1 million different scenarios in which he needed to be knocked out. Why would they pick a colonoscopy if people aren’t routinely put under for colonoscopies?
