How soon will I get colonoscopy results?

So, I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow to see if I have Crohn's or another form of Ulcerative Colitis, and I know that if they have to take a biopsy it'll be a couple days before they get the results. But how many days does it usually take? I know this sounds stupid, but it's my birthday Friday, and I really rather not find out I have Crohn's on my birthday, y'know? So how long does it usually take to get biopsy results after a colonoscopy?

    That depends on whether they do biopsies and the turn around time in the lab. I suspect the doctor may be able to tell you if you have Chron's fairly soon after the colonoscopy; however, if they gave you twilight and Versed you may not remember it. Versed is given to produce amnesia.
