Having a preliminary tour of the endoscopy unit helps a lot in lessening the patient’s fear of the procedure. Actually, a comprehensive patient education prior to the procedure is compulsory for all surgical procedures.

I've had it both ways, awake and asleep. Can't beat sedation, but truthfully, it wasn't so bad without. Just uncomfortable, with some pressure like gas. Certainly not unbearable. And it's true what they way, the prep is far worse than the actual procedure.

How did you find the procedure? Did you opt for the sedation? :)

[@SuomiMama]

I just got this procedure done here in Finland 🇫🇮 I was awake the whole time..took about 10 minutes and only thing they used was a numbing spray for my throat. It was agonising ..and felt horrible. I could feel the scope when it reached lower down to the intestines. It wasnt nice at all. Anyone who gets the sedation is lucky

[@blackiesun]

You can ask for it. They will push you to just use the throat spray but it's your right to ask for sedation. If you don't say anything they'll just use the throat spray obviously. It's not done automatically. I've been reading horror stories about the endoscopy done with just the spray so I did say to the nurse when booking my appointment that I wanted sedation. I was sent a form for the anesthesiologist for me to fill in, which I sent back to them. Having the procedure tomorrow morning and I'm so nervous.

The only thing that is uncomfortable is having the IV put in before the procedure.

[@Dancerstar852]

I had my endoscopy today, and it was super easy. I had mine with sedation, and I HIGHLY recommend if you are going to have an endoscopy to have sedation if you are nervous about the procedure. In the procedure room, they made me lay on my left side, and one of the nurses sprayed a throat numbing spray in my mouth. It didn't taste great, but it was tolerable. My doctor gave me Versed to make me less anxious and sleepy, but it did absolutely nothing (I was talking and having conversations at the max dose lol). So they had to call in the anesthesiologist to give Propofol. The anesthesiologist said she just gave me a little of it, and I was completely out. Then I was in the recovery room!!! No recollection of the procedure at all! I was just a little groggy and tired afterwards, but it was completely fine! Super easy procedure!!! If you guys have any questions, please ask me!

It sounds very funny for the procedure like endoscopy. For example, in Lithuania (Europe), you will take 10 minutes for this procedure, just arrive, go onto special bed, open your mouth and into YOU being alive the probe will be put into your stomach for two minutes, that's it. You get up from a bed, and go home after 10 minutes before you arrived the same day.

[@blackiesun]

If you only get the throat spray you can leave immediately but in this video they're showing the procedure done with a sedative prior to it. Patient can choose to be sedated if they want to and with that they have to keep you under observation for up to 2 hrs after the procedure is completed. Usually they push you to just have the throat spray. I did say I wanna be sedated. Having it tomorrow morning and I'm so nervous. First one. I'm in the UK. Sedation isn't general anesthesia. You are awake but sleepy. It just helps to relax. With some people they can just fall asleep but they're not unconscious like with general anesthesia.

No. You can have the procedure done without sedation, which means they will just use a numbing throat spray and won't need to inject you with anything. This is the default option. You have to ask for sedation if you want it. Sedation means you have to remain longer there after to be observed (a couple of hours or so) and be accompanied home and so on. With just the spray you can go home straight away and do whatever you like. I was told that the spray only isn't bad but who knows. Some people say they were just slightly uncomfortable and some have horror stories. I chose sedation for my endoscopy tomorrow morning. I'm just too nervous. I also don't wanna gag.

Kayla Mayeux how'd it go?

[@xcaitsx]

oh cool. I go in on Tuesday Morning, but I am from South Australia, so I don't know what time it would be for you?! Well, from what I have read and seen on the videos I am certain they tell you afterwards! As they can't really do anything right there and then, if it was for a down below (your bum) then I know for sure, they get rid of it straight away. But because its going down your mouth, then I don't think they can do the same thing! Maybe ring early morning Monday and ask :)

horrid procedure , do not recommend, it is very very painful , and the next two days do not sleep , you can choke on your tongue due to supremio anesthesis really weigh your options

[@katiehawks2300]

black docs not true, I had it today. I'm only 10, and it doesn't hurt at all

[@missbackyardcamper332]

Sounds like they did not give you anesthesia.... OR it didn't work for you.

[@soulfullportrait6635]

You had a bad doctor, I had one done yesterday with sedation and they did several biopsy’s and it didn’t hurt at all, just a sore throat for a few days

[@lauraeager373]

This procedure would be painful without sedation. I have a bad gag reflex so I requested an anesthesiologist to sedate me with propofol for my upcoming upper endoscopy on June 4th.

[@lindaking5559]

That was not my experience at all it was a breeze

[@emaleahdz3757]
