I have to get an endoscopy tomorrow
 

ever had it done?

Did you look while they were doing it? I dont know if I want to look or not.

Too Much Information!!!!!!!!!!

not sure what that it is. sounds like they are going up your ass to look around.

expect a lot of pain from what i've heard

A jigga what?

My son has had two in the last few years. It's not a colonoscopy. An endoscopy is down the throat. They zonked him out both times. He was out for less than 10 minutes. Didn't bother him at all.

Yeah... I had it done a month ago..
I was at a Gastro specialist and he suddenly said 'Hmm.. I wonder if we have time to do an endoscope.......I guess so, follow me!'
2 minutes later, I was getting a numbing agent sprayed on the back of my throat, and 3 minutes later I was gagging uncontrollably with a big ass tube shoved down my throat...
then they filled my stomach with air, and I couldn't stop letting out huge burps...
then they poked a hole in my stomach lining for a biopsy...

it definately wasn't pleasant, but it only took 5 minutes... some places they give you drugs for it (to knock you out a bit), cause of the retching...

it down the throat, not up the ass, lol

FUCK!! this sounds like torture
thats exactly what im getting done too, with the stomach biopsy too
FUCK!

:throwup

didnt they tell you beforehand though?
They told me not to eat the night before

I had the "nasty fucka" Endoscopy, the one up the ass :helpme .

That one hurts like hell, apart from it feeling like a metal bar is going up your ass, they have air pumped in to expand the intestine so they can see more.

Your stomach feels like it's gonna pop with all the air, i was awake and watched on a TV screen, only lasted about 30 minutes but did hurt like hell.


And for the rest of the day i was farting for the world....... :1orglaugh

Yea heres a pic of the machine

I wasn't told beforehand, but he asked if I had been fasting before he decided to do it.. (my complaint was I could barely eat.. especially in the morning...)
SOoo... I hadn't eaten :)
still don't know what it is/was.. been sick as hell for a few months.. most likely related to some of the vaccines I took before Cancun..

they took a slice of your stomach and examined it and they still dont know what the problem is?

yup.. a lot of gastro problems are damn hard to diagnose...
the biopsy is more for detecting bacteria, tumors, and ulcers...
I'm pretty sure mine was caused by 'dukoral', which is supposed to prevent traveller's diarrhea :)
it grows bacteria in your intestines... to combat e. coli and cholera...

Personally, I think my body was very unhappy with the new bacteria :)

i had endoscopy and colonoscopy a few weeks ago. it wasn't so bad really, except that I had an "abnormal anatomy" due to an operation I had years ago. Had to be given a sedative during colonoscopy as I was getting stressed out by the pain.
Between the two, I say, endoscopy is the "lesser evil" :winkwink:

Just don't forget to take deep breaths to prevent yourself from throwing up
Hope everything turns out well for you :)
