Another lesson is this: when you go in for a colonoscopy or rectal exam you have to explicitly ask to NOT do any surgery if you are not ready for the downtime.

If they are giving you local or general anesthetic they are going to use the opportunity to perform a surgery if they can.
The fine print says they can do this.

They don’t really want you to undergo this multiple times, so first explore and then another round, after permission, to take them out is not the preferred way. Also; removing polyps doesn’t hurt; without anaesthetic and fully present, you don’t normally feel anything outside a bit of cramping.
