Next week I have my endoscopy and I am scared!!! They will sedate me but I'm still scared...ughh I'm half way there and I can't look back now.. I sure won't but I'm def scared

Why are they doing that to u

For my doctor, it's mandatory. Don't sweat it Aspiring, it's a breeze...

You will do great. Mine was quick and painless.

You will not know it even happened except for maybe a sore throat.

I had mine yesterday, it was quick and I just had a sore throat afterward.

How long does the sore throat last? & what exactly are they looking for? I have mine on the 9th of October I'm scared to I hate sore throats

My throat only hurt for a few hours. My dr was checking for anything that looked abnormal so he knew before surgery what was there. I ended up having reflux.

If you have reflux can you still have the surgery or does that disqualify you

Yes, you can still have the surgery.

RNY was recommended to me partly because of my reflux. It doesn't disqualify you.

That's so great yay I'm still doing my clearances I only have my pulmonologist clearance left then I see the nutritionist on the 20th & then see if my Medicaid approves it I live in Florida I have amerigroup medicaid I'm so nervous about the approval process I hope everything goes well

It's super easy and fast. My husband and I were there maybe an hour and the actual procedure only took about 15 minutes. I also have terrible reflux and it does not disqualify you. My surgeon does it as a precaution to make sure everything looks good in your stomach before you actually have gastric. I only had a scratchy throat afterwards.

Ok cool I don't think I have reflux I've never had a problem so we will see I'll let you know when get home from the endoscopy. Do you know if they use general anesthesia? My Dr. Said they will have me under General anesthesia?

I had my endo last week. They had me gargles with lidocaine. I had no sore throat at all.

They injected the versed and it was lights out for the next hour, slept like I had had 8 great hours of sleep. Oh baby!

My endoscopy was easy and painless,not even a sore throat..I had a Burger after and was fine,,no worries.
