Endoscopy Done...Heartburn ick!

Hello Everyone!

I had my endoscopy done, pretty easy. I had some heartburn when I go there, I think it was from the nerves. Now, I have SERIOUS heartburn. They gave me a script for it and I am going to pick it up now. Did anyone experience this?

I know this is silly, but what is an endoscopy done for? Is everything ok?

Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure that uses a lighted, flexible endoscope to see inside the upper GI tract. The upper GI tract includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum—the first part of the small intestine. My doctor requires that they complete this before any gastric surgery. They make your very sleepy and I don't remember a thing.

I had mine done about 5 weeks ago and No I didn't have any heartburn. It was very simple and painless. I hope you are feeling better.
