Hi there,

So I'm feeling very nervous about the endoscopy. My last appointment and possibly my biggest hurdle lol. How bad is it? How long does it take? I am afraid of pain or not being able to breathe- probably irrational but would love to hear your thoughts. thanks!

I had an endo/colo last Thursday....really....it was a piece of cake. The only bad thing was the bowel prep process the day before the colonoscopy. Everything else was fine. I had a very slight scratchy throat afterwards, but it was gone by the next morning.

Don't worry...you will be out for the procedure and everything will be OK.

you will be fine... its easy going in and coming out.. make this your least worry....good luck..

I vaguely remember clearing my throat as they were taking me to recovery because it was a little scratching. But by the time I was released from recovery, throat was fine. No other problems.

I have mine scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning. I am also very nervous about it. I hate the thought of being put to sleep. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the feedback.

I was knocked out pretty quick once in the room. I don't remember a thing. I think on a scale of 1-10 my sore throat was about a 2 the next day.

I got home from my endo about 15 minutes ago. It went great. The only complaint I have is a headache. They said that's due to me being a coffee drinker so they told me to go home have coffee, eat and take a nap. I was wheeled in the room at 9:07 and awake with my husband in recovery at 9:28. Very quick. Good luck.
