The endoscopy was a breeze. I went in to the hospital, I put on the gown, they wheeled me into OR, the doctor said, "you may feel a bit of warmth in your hand (where they inserted the IV) when we give you the anesthesia, I blinked my eyes and it was over.

That was it. If I hadn't been warned ahead of time to expect a bit of a scratchy throat, I would have never even known I had a scope down my throat.

There's really nothing to it. I was worried and nervous about nothing.

I was very nervous about the endoscopy but it was a piece of cake. Mine was at the hospital but in a little office room, not the OR. I kept my clothes on too, no gown. I had no sore throat or any after effects. It is like blinking and it's over.

Just had one Friday. I was very nervous but as everyone said, it was very fast. I think they said I was asleep 15 minutes and that included balloon dilation (I am 12 weeks post-op and have a stricture). No sore throat but I had sinus pain for about 48 hours - front he oxygen they out in my nose I think.
