I think you will be fine. I just saw my PCP yesterday and she said it's a breeze. You might just feel a little sore throat from the tube afterwards. I have to do an endoscopy/colonoscopy on 7/11. The only thing I think will suck about that is the "colon flush" the night before and drinking 8 glasses of the crap you have to drink.

Yuck!

Let us know how it goes.

You will be fine! No worries! It will be over before you know it! Just breathe and try to think of happy thoughts!

Hope it all went well, I'm sure you'll do fine! Had my upper & lower GI done last week.....other than the prep for colonoscopy, everything was easy peasy....lucky you not having to have a colonoscopy!!!!!

Yeah, PattyGee! Wish I didn't have to go through that one, but I'm over 50 so I needed to do it anyway! Getting endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time on 7/11.

Boo hiss!!

I'm having an endoscopy/colonoscopy tomorrow and I have to start the "flush" in a couple hours. Good luck to both of us, I guess. Lol. :-)

I had my endoscopy last Friday and it went just fine. My throat was a little sore for a couple days but no big deal... You will be fine! Hugssss

It went by so quick when I woke up I was back in the room like did they even check me lol ..

That's awesome! I'm happy for you that it's over and done with.

Yep...it's a piece of cake! You might have a sore throat for a little while but no big deal.

You'll do fine.......FYI the results from the colonoscopy put me at a higher risk for colon cancer.....now have to be tested every 5 years...My aunt died from colon cancer recently......I'll take the discomfort for 2 days if it'll save me from what she went through....I just don't have to like it LOL Good luck!

I'm sorry about your Aunt! Finding out that you are at a higher risk now is good, because you can be one step ahead by getting regular screenings as recommended by your doctor.
