Trans nasal Endoscopy



Recommended Posts

Looking for anyone that has had a trans nasal endoscopy. I have mine scheduled in a couple weeks. Getting nervous.

I've had one in the past. Surprisingly not terrible. They numb your nasal passages so it doesn't hurt and you don't gag either. It's one heck of an odd sensation, but maybe better for people who don't like getting knocked out frequently.

Oh I gagged it was terrible -- don't think I was numbed enough and that spray was grooooooos!! Didn't want to be knocked out for such a quick procedure

I guess I was lucky. They put me under for my endoscopy. I thought it was such a great feeling fading out and then waking up to it being all done. I never have been under anesthesia before then.

This thread has been a fine example of how no two people are the same. I wish you luck and if you're super nervous, perhaps ask to be knocked out?

Let us know how you did!

Thanks Harlem! I will just knock the doctor out if it hurts lol lol!! Sounds like it is just plain uncomfortable! I want to watch the procedure and they said I can if I am awake. This stuff fascinates me, weird I guess lol!

-- if you search YouTube you might find a clip that demonstrates the procedure

I felt bad during mine cause I slightly pushed the docs hand away -- don't think he was happy about that either but it felt as if he were forcing it down too fast (which I'm sure he wasn't) and I was violently gagging thinking I was choking... It's a really short procedure and maybe you can ask the nurse of you can hold or lightly squeeze his hand to help ease the discomfort ... That helped me tremendously during the last few seconds of it (the nurse offered after I pushed the docs hand away, obviously I couldn't speak at that point)

Had my Trans nasal Endoscopy this morning! It really went well! I made sure I was good and numb, thank you Sandi!! It was a strange feeling but tolerable for the few minutes it took. I am glad I went with the non anesthesia !

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
