Anyone had an Endoscopy done?

Had to cancel mine, was gagging like a fucker, I've had one before although it was uncomfortable it was completed.
Might have to go the sedation route

Hope you don't mind me giving an update? Yesterday I had a second try at the camera down the old gullet, this time it worked a treat as I had chosen to have a sedative, in fact, I don't remember a thing. Anyway big shout out to joe royal for accompanying me back home as they won't let you leave without an escort, cheers joe.

Re: Anyone had an Endoscopy done?
What amazes me is all this technology we have and these cameras are still attached to what is a bleeding hose pipe!! I thought we would have little cameras the size of a pill we could swallow by now as per Dennis Quaid in Inner Space!!

They put you out over here. I didn’t know a thing. I don’t know why the NHS likes to keep you awake for it (colonoscopy that is)

Re: Anyone had an Endoscopy done?
sold, are you still on Lansoprazole? I'm on Omeprazole for gastric reflux.
Yes mate... will be on it for life... if I go one day without it I am curled up in agony... daily I can eat and drink what I want (as long as I don't go overboard on fruit which for some reason my stomach hates)... been an absolute game and life changer for me... being as I was one of the youngest surviving burst ulcer survivors I had to go through all the trials to see whether it was any good or not... to begin with they was hoping that as it's bacterial the drug would completely cure any burst ulcers but not the case... it just allows some sort of life normality and I never had that in my first 17 years of life (until stomach perforated).

I've had it all.
It's weird and invasive. I refused it and had an mri but then had to have one based on my mri
Look at it this way. We are all mortal. U could get the c word news tomorrow. It will kill you. We all think we will live forever. Take a valium and get it done
When I was blocked and killing myself (failed) I had an mri and they told me there was nothing in my bowls or tummy that worried them.. the relief of that made me feel strong. It got me through that night although I shat myself loads literally and probably documented it on here.
Get it done. Take a valium. If it comes out just news then there is help here. If it comes out blank then u can go and get on it.
Gents this is my lucid 2 hours.

Trouble with sedation is, you must have someone to take you home and it's hard to find anyone available on a working day, all my mates are in Herts and have no family to speak of, so that's out. Anyway, I might go the sedation route but I'm still worried I might start gagging again

Had a cystoscopy during a bladder cancer check... First you have a glycerine like 'grease' forced down the penis with a gadget very much like a grease gun, then the actual probe is fed all the way through, past the prostate and up into the bladder... It is about as big round as a pencil... The surgeon had two good looking female assistants, I was a bit concerned I might get 'interested', but the procedure itself soon put paid to that...

NAG,
They say that Omeprazole is the safest drug in the whole of pharmacology. It lines your stomach which makes all the other medications less harmful for your gut.
Take the sedation (usually Valium) and the throat spray, shut your eyes and breathe through your mouth and you'll be peachy.
The first time I had one I grabbed the doctor as it felt like drowning, the second one was horrible but once I was told I could breathe through my mouth it became an inconvenience for ten minutes but in the great scheme of things it's not a big deal.

I’ve had a Bronchoscopy, about 14 months ago. It was weird looking on the screen at my lungs. They put the camera up through the nostrils for those.

FC just ask for the sedation you will get the option.
