Louise it’s nothing to worry about.
I had mine without having sedation and it is not as bad as everyone told me. It just feels a little uncomfortable but it only took about 10 to 15 mins after they give you the numbing spray. The worse part I found was the taste of the numbing spray.

I had one done under numbing spray also . You be fine )

[j.u.s.t.l.i.z.]

yep its semi sedation chick you will be aware but it wont be as stressfull as with out just swallow when he says swallow it takes a few minutes but it will be better with sedation, sorry i dont wanna scare you but i didnt like the experience to be honest, i shall cya next meeting louise x

Get the sedation i have a bad gag reflux and refused point blank to have it unless they did sedate me. You will still be awake and aware but its a funny sedation it affects your short term memory and you don't remember them doing anything to you x

 

[cherry]

oooo dero!!!......OMG!!!!!!!! so if it does that what if we forget like where we've parked, or who our partners ( my case hubbi is ) and we walk stright past them!! yikes i didnt realise that!!!

 

[louise1983]

With the sedation its exactly like being drunk!arty0016: I had one a couple of years ago for an investigation into stomach ulcers (I was clear thank god!) but can't remember too much about it apart from feelling like I'd had about 15 pints... My dear dad was the same when he had his - have you ever seen a more embarrassing sight than a 50+ man giggling like a little girl in the back of a fiesta?

 

[keeley86]

Sounds like fun to me lol xxx

Can I just have the sedation and pass on the endoscopy

 

[laurajlucy]

ERMMM Why do we have to have an endoscopy???? x

 

[cherry]

i think its to see everythings ok with the stomach before they do the op xx

 

[laurajlucy]

Not that i mind just wondered as not came across it as yet!! xx

 

[gaelic girl]

It is a bit like being drunk you know they are doing it you hear them talking to you but you have no memory. They keep you in for a couple of hours after it and the only thing i suffered from was a bit of a rough throat. Hubby had to collect me as i wasn't to drive until next day. I'm taking my 14 year old daughter for one on the 20th Aug so fingers crossed she believes her mum xx
