Thank you so much. Trying not to panic. Ive got mine tomorrow morning.

sedation for me !..

Can anyone tell me how bad the shedding is

Thank you for this... having the test done in a few weeks and I've been really nervous... I've been dealing with gastroparesis for years and the ONE thing I have been terrified of is an NG tube....😣

How did you haggle the price, did you email prior to the new sprays being sent?

Where you bought it?

Just had mine less then 2 hours ago,was going to have the sedation but I thought nope,il sooner face my fears,and I do not think it’s as bad as people are making it out to be,just take deep breaths,do as the doctor says and it’s over before you know it

Has everyone here been using it everyday consistently or did they miss days, and if so did they still see results?

Did you shed hair before you used the spray or while you were using the product? Thanks in advance for your input.

I am suffering terrible with this I totally understand I Do all the same things x

I wouldn't wish this phobia on anyone

I was misdiagnosed with angina. I was under the cardiology department and had a CT scan to assess my heart and luckily was found to have no heart issues or blockages etc... but he did casually say that they did see a small hiatal hernia. I presented with shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, nausea, pain in the stomach, tingling down the left arm, sweating and a few trips to the ER beforehand. I still have these issues but have excessive burping (which I thought were a side effect of the beta-blockers I was put on) this is something I have never had before. I didn't know all of the digestive issues were associated with this. As years ago I developed issues with my throat. I sang in a choir and found (and to this day) I couldn't reach notes, I would begin to cough, my voice had no strength and was scratchy. I was told I had a nodule at first then had the camera down a second time to reveal LPR silent reflux, postnasal drip and sinusitis. I have had congestion most of my adult life. My mother was diagnosed with the same condition in her 50's like me so is there an hereditary component to this?

And This is why growing up in the 70s-80s was so much simpler and 1000x better. There was no internet/social media at your fingertips 24/7 to tell you that you are dying from 100000 different things. Things were simple then and not going 10000mph

Hi wanted to ask , do you have to wait for a certain amount of hours after applying Hims before putting hair cream/lotion on?

I was referred to ENT and they put a camera down my nose and looked at my vocal chords and diagnosed me with muscle tension dysphonia. I am getting speech and language therapy exercises on the NHS, im also a singer

I had a normal endoscopy but have spent two years unable to eat or drink most foods, been on PPIs for a year and a half but now my doctors are saying there are long term risks such as weak bones of being on them so they want me to stop them. Worried the NHS won't do a PH manometry test for me because I'm not "ill enough"

Many thanks for this brilliant & much-needed video, John - sadly seen too late as I had my gastroscopy yesterday without the conscious sedation. I'm definitely having sedation for the next one in 2 mths time. Being a mother in my late 60's I inevitably have various previous experience of hospital procedures & operations - I don't consider myself to be particularly anxious or squeamish. I found it deeply unpleasant (...a euphemism) - despite the truly wonderful staff whom I can't praise highly enough. I remember thinking at one particular point, I wonder if this will traumatise me & will I get 'flashbacks'? Today I'm ok, but if I'd been younger, perhaps slightly more anxious & with less experience of hospitals, maybe not. I'm not being funny when I say that even our cat was given this 'conscious sedation' when he had a very similar recent exploratory. To me it's incredible that in this age of medical & technological advances, that we're performing this barbaric and 'mediaeval' practice. Oh yes, I was there for a total of 3hrs (as they'd previously warned - they were busy so long wait times beforehand - & for me, not a problem at all) and during that time, I was the only muggins who didn't ask for sedation. I asked the nurse who explained my options beforehand whether he'd ever had one. He said he'd had 2 gastroscopies a few years ago - both times WITH sedation. That really should have flagged it up to me, but he was so reassuring that it was just 'slight pressure' & 'brief discomfort'. Begs the question, how would he know? Afterwards, the nurse who explained my results asked me why I didn't ask for sedation (?!) & whether it was because I had no one to collect me or stay with me afterwards (not the case). So, my advice is don't play the 'hero', or worry that you're inconveniencing them in any way - get sedation!

How long does soundrop support take to reply?

Cheers John, do you find you’re getting new baby hairs coming through?

@johnjosephthacker how has the IQoro training going?

Your Haitus hernia cause ur anxiety. If, Haitus hernia cure then ur anxiety will be cure automatically.

The photos shown in video.. 3 months one..is surley not you..cmon ..it has straight hairs. so why bluff? why dont you post real pics if you actually made progress?

Hiatus hernia lunked to hypomobility ive had that operation

I am on Hims 3 months, I have quite advanced receding hairline and thinning crown patch. I feel the balding patch is filling in, not much on the hairline yet but I don't expect it to come back. Will update after 6 months. 🙏

I have a an upcoming endoscopy due..not sure on the date yet but this will be my second time. The first time was horrid and traumatic experience, like John I had it with no sedation and i was gagging wrecthing and the 5 mins it was in felt like an eternity.. I couldnt swallow i was stressed.. I was pinned down by the nurses as I was trying to pull the scope out. It was awful. So now i have a new one coming up and this is absolutley terrifying me I havent been sleeping and my anxiety is currently through the roof. I 100 % will demand sedation and will not get it done again without it. I cannout bare the thought of going through it again without it.

I feel you, man. Mine isn't as bad as it used to be, but it still hits me now and then.

What would you say about weight loss? I'm 90 and if I drop to 60, will things improve/fix itself?

This is my second one first no sedation was horrific due my next one in 2 weeks definitely having sedation

I appreciate you sharing this! I have been trying to find someone who has used hims before I commit! Thank you

Stop diagnosing yourself ,dr google will have your dead a zillion times . Be free by friends 😊

I lost a lot of family young and I think that’s part of it for me at least. Being nearer to death for so long makes you look over your shoulder for it

Are you still using this device and if so then has there been any improvements worth mentioning?

Thanks for your advice!! I’m having my first endoscopy in October for acid reflux. Your experience is valuable!! I will definitely be sedated also.👍

Is there a long term complication after taking sedation? Just curios to know if anyone has been facing the side effects

Yes it's very real.

Great share brother! I’ve been using it for 9 months with good progress. It’s cool to see someone else sharing their story and normalizing the normal, lol.

Take sedation if offered. I can't remember much about my endoscopy. Only when the nurse said the tube is going in . Next thing I remember is her saying we're finished. The camera tube had already been withdrawn ! Midazolam is amazing.

I have terrible reflux with Hiatus Hernia and am in my early 20s and young like yourself. PPI does not seem to work for me and have taken them for 2 to 3 weeks with no improvement and the iqoro does not work. I have bad anxiety which causes it and nothing seems to work which has stopped me being able to do singing and I want to pursue singing and acting and this has stopped me being able to anything since a teenager. Any suggestions for constant reflux all day every day?

Do you know how long after applying that you can style your hair? And thank you for the vid!

Do you know what they gave you? I have one coming up next month.

I appreciate your courage to do a video and you made me a believer in trying the Hims product.

I’m having a double-colonoscopy and endoscopy same time. What the heck, worst part is the prep. Due for routine colonoscopy and having some heartburn often, so might as well. My doc said they never do these without sedation, ever.

Ivan you take fin orally and fin topical?

It’s also toxic to frogs.

It is also toxic to dogs.

I just had this done a few weeks ago without sedation (except the throat spray) and it wasn’t nice. The gagging was horrible but I had a polyp removed as well and had some mild gastritis. Prescribed 6 weeks of Lansoprazole

Had with and without sedation. Prefer no sedation. Especially for sth as quick as gastroscopy. If you want sedation, you gotta do blood tests beforehand, then after the sedation many people feel bad for half the day. Too much hastle. Without sedation, just went in, got some throat numbing spray. A bit of a gag reflex just at the beginning when they enter the tube, but after that nothing that bad. No pain. You just lay for 5-7 min and focus on breathing and that's it. You're done.

Glad I ran across your video. I’ve had a hard time finding reviews on this product which can be a good thing. Lol.

3 hrs until I have my first endoscopy. I’m freaking out & crying. This is the video I needed to see beforehand. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thank you everyone else for sharing your positive experiences as well.

Do you massage it into your scalp too or just spray?
