I have only had one pre surgery too but I had no issues. Just sleeping for the day and was back to normal the next day. Weird.

I had an endoscopy and don't remember any gassiness or bloating. My throat was a little sore afterwards (understandable) but beyond that nothing. And I was half awake during most of it...!

I've had a number of them over the years, and haven't had any such problems; typically, one might have a bit of a sore throat for a while (can happen anytime they stick things down there, whether endoscopy, intubation, etc.) The jaw sounds like they may have been a bit ham-fisted with moving things around to get the scope in. Most of the time, I have had a plug that I bite on (like a baby's pacifier) with a hole in it that they pass the endoscope through, and they strap the jaw closed around it (so it doesn't move when you're under anesthesia).

The bloating seems a bit odd - they do inflate the stomach to see around in there (same with the colon in a colonoscopy) but that usually comes out quickly with a bit of belching, if I have noticed at all. When they do the actual surgery, they do inflate your abdomen to give them working space, and that can take a couple of days to work out as there is no direct vent to the outside world as there is in your GI tract.

yeah I would see someone ( medical professional) or call the place where you got it done and ask if anything happened that you need to be aware of while you were under and explain why you are asking. you shouldn't be having these issues. like everyone else has said a bit of a sore throat, farting and burping should be all you experience after that procedure.
