What should I expect with my endoscopy

[Fiddleman 4,376]

I get to have a test very similar to that on Wednesday. Mine is called an esophageal motility study or manometry exam. Mine is to check for swallowing problems and check the sphincter muscles between the esophagus and stomach. I have heart burn issues so that is why this test is ordered for me. They record your swallowing Water for 10 segments. Should be a "fun time" with a ng tube and lap band and trying to swallow.

Good luck. I hope your results turn out negative for any issues.

We call that " The Michael Jackson" drug.

I think you are referring to the Propofol OD in 2009 and that Propofol is in the same set of prescription versed drugs. Did he take like some insane amount or something?

Oh neat. You can probably get a proscription for the versed drug Midazolam:

Why are you having (and other folks had) and endoscopy? They found I had a hiatial hernia by doing an upper GI. Is an endoscopy a standard procedure?

Some doc's choose to do endo over upper GI. Endoscopy actually shows a lot more. And some docs if the upper gi is abnormal the send you for an endoscopy for clear visualization.

They used propofol when I had my egd. He was taking it on a regular basis to sleep which is dangerous.

I'm glad you asked this question.. I go Tuesday to set my appt. for the scope... I think im more nervous about the scope than the Sleeve. LOL

Does anyone know after the scope if they find something will they still do your surgery. I think I have a small hernia, I know I have acid reflux... Jus wondering if there's a reason they won't do it ?? I would hate to know I've come this far and then tell me I'm sorry we found this or that and we can't do your Sleeve! Yikes!

Tc's Ready!
