Sore throat 2 days before my EGD

Hi all,

I'm scheduled for my endoscopy on Monday at 10:15am. I woke up today with a sore throat this morning and little bumps in the back of my mouth. I feel perfectly fine otherwise but now I'm really nervous that they will cancel my procedure. Did this happen to anyone? If so, did they still see you even though you didn't have any other symptoms?

This whole process has been overwhelming for me. I found out last week that I need my gallbladder removed because of gallstones. I really can't afford a set back

Thanks for listening and sharing your experience if you have one.

I have pain in my back, abdomen, and right under my rib cage on the right. My stones are fairly big. One symptom that I have and I didn't know it was related is I have digestive issues when I eat certain foods. So I cut out fried foods months ago due to the pain it caused me. I think I'm coming down with strep so I'm going to hit up an urgent care tonight and try to get on meds asap.

I had a cold when I did my actual surgery and it was no big deal. I was afraid to that they were going to cancel my surgery but it didn't. The EDG I doubt unless you have a fever that it will greatly affected and if you're not taking any biotics so if you haven't been prescribed anything then I really don't think it will matter. But definitely disclose all of that information to your provider when you arrive tomorrow
