D1NOnlySexyLady 70 Posted March 27, 2012 I was schedule to have the endoscopy done this Thursday morning at 715 am, I have to be at work by 9. So my question is will I be ok to go to work? Will my throat hurt? Would I be able to eat properly? Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had mine at 3:00pm and didn't remember anything before 4:00. After that I was just drugged up for awhile unable to drive and very tired. I lied down and took a nap. Some people complain of throat soreness. I didn't have that and I was able to eat. I don't know what you do for work, but it may be better to go in a little later.

raven8888 86 Posted March 27, 2012 I am on my way right now to get my endoscopy...so nervous..i guess the thought of getting put to sleep and never waking up scares me. I was so scared too. It is so easy though. After it was over I wondered why i was stressing so much in the first place. The drug they use doesn't put you all the way out, it's just a sedation. I felt like I was having a very relaxed daydream. Over in no time. My husband told me I was really mellow and telling him how good I felt. You will be fine.

raven8888 86 Posted March 27, 2012 It's kind of a strange euphoric feeling. You are awake until the very last minute while they are setting up, then they inject the drug in your IV and you feel it right away and just kind of feel very relaxed. I remember kind of thing "oh yeah, I can handle this" lol! You don't remember anything, but I had a sense I was awake, but I was kind of dreaming about gardening of all things, then they were telling me it was all over (felt like only a minute had past) and my memory was a little fuzzy after that in recovery. I remember my husband and the doctor there, but can't tell you exactly what they told me. But I felt "good". By the time I was in the car I remember more and just had a good buzz going on.

raven8888 86 Posted March 27, 2012 The doctor told me in recovery when he came to check on me and I remember most of it, but had to review it with my husband later to be clear about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raven8888 86 Posted March 27, 2012 Ok did they do a biopsy? Yes and I would not have even known the difference. He said the biopsy is common practice to test for the H pylori. You won't even feel it during or after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raven8888 86 Posted March 27, 2012 It is just a bacteria that can cause ulcers. They just want to know what you have going on so they can predict what you will need if any treatment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
