Nervous For Endoscopy!

I have never had one before and mine is scheduled for Saturday morning. I am doing my sleep study tomorrow night and then will wake up and had all of the medical clearing tests done including the endoscopy. So nervous...they use prophyl...will I be awake and feel the tube going in?????

I know its a small thing to be nervous about on the larger scale but still!

No worries. You will be out for the procedure and when you wake up the only thing you should notice is a slightly scratchy throat. Good luck.

Ok thank you! That's a relief. :)

I was a little nervous too...but there was nothing to it. The last thing I remember before being put under is putting the teeth guard in my mouth and laying down. When I woke up my throat was a little scratchy but otherwise fine. You'll do great, don't worry too much. ;)

I was nervous too....it was painless. I was out and awake before i knew it.

Mine is in one week and I was getting nervous this makes me feel better too! Thanks everyone

Endoscopy was a breeze! Don't worry at all! Worst part...getting poked for the IV! :)

I'm glad to hear it is easy too. I need to get one because my bariatric surgeon found a mass on or in my esphogaus when he did an upper GI on me.
