A gastroenterologist can tell you exactly what they saw after the procedure. If any biopsies were taken, you typically will wait 2-3 days for the results.

You will know immediately after your colonoscopy if you had any polyps or other findings; however, it can take about a week to get results back from pathology if biopsies are taken.
