Endoscopy

I'm going in for my endoscopy in one hour. What can I expect? I'm kind of nervous. I feel like I'll throw up when they insert the tube. Any advice?

My endoscopy is on Oct 30th. They did say I will be under anesthesia so I need someone to dive me to and fro. From what I heard, it's not bad - you may have a little sore throat after. I was scared of this procedure too but now I have no worries. Hope this helped :)

No worries, they will give you medicine in your IV that will knock you out.

You should be out for it. Try not to worry.

I had mine a few weeks ago and had no effects at all.

Good luck!!

I had mine a couple weeks ago and the nerves working up to it are worse than the procedure. for me they gave me an iv.. rolled me into a room.. had insert a mouthpiece (so that they could put the tube in eaasier) put me to sleep and a couple mins later it seemed I woke up laughing because I was talking like I was drunk. Felt fine right afterwards and got a day off of work for it!!

Kflan,

How'd it go? If you ever feel up to it I am sure that others would appreciate hearing how yours was.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the advice and letting me know about your experience! It was a breeze! :)

I was 'put under' and woke up feeling good. Right now I have a bit of a sore throat and cough, but otherwise doing well. Just one step closer to surgery day!

Glad it all went well!
