    Default Endoscopy

    Hi all,
    I am SO nervous about the Endoscopy I have to have this Friday! What can you tell me about it? The idea of a tube down my throat really scares me!
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Default Re: Endoscopy

    I cannot really tell you anything about the endoscopy because I have no memory of it due to being put under (a.k.a. receiving general anesthesia) prior to the procedure. Really, it's a routine procedure with nothing to worry about.

    Good luck to you.

    I've had an Endoscopy 3 different times. It's over before you it. I did not even have a sore throat afterwards. It's always "nerve racking" thinking about the "unknown", but it's really an easy and fast procedure.

    It's nothing. I had no residual pain. Found out I have a hiatal hernia, though it doesn't bother me, but good to know
