Your Child's Endoscopy: What to Expect

We know that an endoscopy can be stressful for you and your child. That's why we created the video "Your Child's Endoscopy: What to Expect." We hope this video will answer your questions, alleviate your fears, and help you plan for your child’s endoscopy.

[@jodiekriel3646]

I had an endoscopy today and when i was wheeled back to my ward afterward four players from a national rugby team came in and surprised me! They gave me free tickets to their game. I wasn't even nervous before i went in. I was actually really excited

[@juliestocker9929]

Thank you so much for making this video. My 9 year old son is TERRIFIED to have an endoscopy and this video is EXACTLY what we needed to help him hopefully be more comfortable with having it. It was done for a child’s Perspective and shows exactly what’s done. I hope this will help calm his nerves.

[@cadence1510]

i’m 16 and even this helped me😭i’m hoping i get the mask too though, i read on google another option is a long needle in the boob and as someone who’s already terrified of needles that seems terrifying of painful

Thank you! I'm getting a endoscopy in three days, this made me have a lot of relief.

[@nayleenable]

How was it

[@splats6164]

I was 7 when I got my surgery done (many years ago) I was tired after the procedure. I was put on anestishia then when I woke up I kept falling asleep on the bed after my whole family was telling me to get up. Thank God I got a wheel chair ride because I fell asleep on the last wheel chair ride too.

[@marleenninaka1303]

I wish they had a program like that 50 years ago. I was just phobic of hospitals and knew what the letter "H" was before I started kindergarten. My parents couldn't drive on any streets where a hospital was located. Keep up the fantastic work.

I had one of these done... twice, and after they did it, my throat felt real funny. Most of the time, you are awake for these things, especially if you're an adult.

[@lauraeager373]

I’ve had several (and will have an endoscopic ultrasound in 2.5 weeks) and I was under MAC each time. With MAC (monitored anesthesia care), you’re asleep but still breathing on your own

[@cadence1510]

what if you’re 16? i’m around 130ish and 5’5 if that helps. a few years ago i watched a story time where this girl was awake the whole time and she was trying to scream and tell them but she couldn’t move at all and she had to feel everything the whole 8 hour surgery. and i know that’s not always common but i’m terrified i’m not actually gonna be asleep or i’m gonna be able to feel a lot of pain. i’ve had laughing gas when i was around 5-6 and then some liquid that put me to sleep around 6-7 so i’m not sure if it also helps i’ve never had much or maybe any anesthesia

[@riaghole9674]

I had a endoscopy when i was 10 and i was surprisingly not scared until the last second. But if course i had Anastasia so i fell asleep. I woke up and felt fine. But to those who will get an endescopy, dont b scared because you’ll wake up and u are in an hospital. U r safe. ❤️

[@user-bc8ge8nn2y]

I had an endoscopy, but they cut one of my organs and I started bleeding on the inside, and I got a hematoma. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks and I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink anything. I was 9. It was awful. But it doesn’t happen to a lot of people, and my doctor was just being lazy.

So idk if someone who needs it will see it but for these there’s nothing to worry about procedure wise. Soar throats often happen, I know that some hospitals give iVs with the mask or just and iV. For a general endo this is correct

Today I found out I have to get one done, and I freaked out. Plus it was the day before school. I'm super nervous, but this video helped a lot. I'm just nervous about the IV and the a tube going down my throat. Anyone else?? I just pray to god I don't have celiac disease

[@morganwydra6417]

I'm getting tested in the morning for celiac🙈

[@daisycharlotte6510]

The6 put numbing cream on before the iv

[@majidkhoori2890]

I'll tell you my experience. I asked for numbing cream,they gave me the IV and to be honest it just hurt a little,then I went to the operation room and they gave me the sedation,they only thing I remember is the tube getting shoved down my throat and I puked a little and I felt like I couldn't breathe,wasn't a very pleasant experience for me. I hope you don't suffer like I did

[@madmax1528]

Kristie Sandler I have had 2 of those u get put 2 sleep so u won't feel anything the only thing u will feel is the IV needle part witch is only a lil sting

[@paularogers5722]

I have celiac disease so I have to get one of these done to check my stomach I have just learned I have this

[@ailieanderson9790]

I had my endoscopy yesterday! It’s totally fine- nothing is sore not even the needles... I had my sleep medicine through A needle like in my arm which felt weird but was fine and soon as I fell asleep! Good luck! x (Edit I have lost my voice tho since my throat hurts but that’s it)

[@lovepeople2905]

Ailie Anderson why your throat heart? i mean omg i am scared now😭😭😭

[@ailieanderson9790]

Pop Blast no! It’s like a sore throat you get when you have a cold it’s nothing to worry about, you will do fine trust me! Any questions you would like to ask me feel free to ask ❤️

[@lovepeople2905]

Ailie Anderson thank you so much. Actually I went to the doctor today and I told him that I am belching and he was like the only way to see what you have in you stimatch is to make a gastroscopy... and it costs $400.. and I am very scared.. but he told me that I will feel nothing and it will take about 3 minutes... but still I cannot relax after my appointment..😢 (edit: btw thank you❤)

[@keribere244]

The sore throat doesn’t happen to everyone but it’s completely normal

[@cadence1510]

did you get to pick? i’m terrified of needles and getting this done😭i’m only 16 but needles scare me sm to where they have to give me a few minutes to try to breathe before i get my blood taken, shots or an iv😭

I went to a hospital to get eye surgery! I had something called a chalazion, it’s a bump underneath your eyelid cause from stuff getting in your eye and getting into there. It got pretty big to the point where I could see Only 50% on my right eye. Here’s the story: So on a Friday in 5:00 in the morning, we went to the hospital and sat in a waiting room, when they called me in, she checked how tall I was, how much I weigh, and my age and birth. I got dressed in my hospital gown and sat on the bed waiting for the doctor to come. When the doctor came, she got me into the room and laid me down on a bed, I had a nice warm blanket. The nurses and doctors complimented my earrings and put the anesthesia mask on me and soon I felt numb and fell asleep. The surgery was about 30 minutes to 1 hour long. When we were done, the doctor rolled me on my bed into the room with my parents. A couple minutes after that, my mom carried me into the car. WARNING! Don’t read if u get sick easily!!! So when we got in the car I was super nauseous and I threw up all over the car floor. We stopped at a gas station to clean up and we went home and that’s my story!

[@samaaankqd]

I could hear my heart rate decreasing then I just realized it had finished lol There is nothing to be worried about if you are taking anesthesia.

My digestive system was healthy!

If you are going to have a surgery don't be scared I've had 6 surgery they don't hurt one was for my tonsils removed and that was my first surgery it was scary at first but then it was not scary at all next i broke a bone and I was still nerves but it was fine it does not hurt it really helps you most of the time you don't want a surgery but something you want it cuz you need it i had a surgery on my ears that helped me then I had a surgery on my mouth after it did hurt for like 2min when they had to put the needle in but the straw does not hurt u don't have to get needles it was just something I needed because I'm alerject to the sleepy mask medicine and I'm alerject to the numbing cream

[@allisson1938]

Dolls and Cats ik I’m curious too

[@pineapplepie2939]

My best advice is to google it! 😂😂

[@babychickenstudios]

It’s where they insert a camera into your stomach to see what’s going on inside you, they can also use it to check your intestines and sometimes the camera can be used for minor surgery!

[@kinggeorgeiii7229]

I think it’s for celiac disease

[@susanaarantes72]

It might be for various reasons but mainly because they need to see your stomach and they do that by putting you to sleep and putting a camera through your mouth it looks kinda nasty but your asleep so you won’t feel a thing 😷

[@erintown4649]

I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, it doesn’t hurt at all, when I woke up I asked “when are they gonna do it?” also the anesthesia knocked me out right away. When I was able to eat my tongue was tingling alittle, but that’s it.

I had a surgery to get some weird thing in my mouth. I had a surgery to get it on when I was younger, because of a cavity. After getting that thing out, well... it was an easy surgery. I had taken some medicine that made my legs shaky and I couldn’t walk until after my surgery. It was still a bit shaky so I got to ride in a wheelchair and my mom, who was with me, pushed it to her car, and when I was walking down the wooden steps to the back door of my house, I kind of stumbled.
