All the very best for tomorrow. Of course you're nervous, but please don't worry! I've had so many procedures over the years and nothing ever happened that shouldn't. At least then hopefully you'll know what the problem and can get on with getting it sorted out!

Great Good Luck for tomorrow Tink! Be calm - it'll be over before you know it and then the medical people will know what to advise so that you'll feel so much better. All for the good.

Re: upper endoscopy june 11th...


Fingers crossed and healing vibes coming, Tink! I know how intimidating it can be, just try to relax (easier said than done!), and it will be over. Again, don't worry about the anaesthesia,,,you will be all right! Been there. done that; was scared stiff but it was not as bad as I'd feared...will be thinking of you, hon!

Re: upper endoscopy june 11th...


Hi Tink, I missed this thread, sorry. I had one of these done a few years back now, I was fully awake, no sedation or anything and had biopsy's taken. It isn't anywhere near as bad as you imagine. The worst bit was swallowing the scope tbh. Let us know how you go on x

Re: upper endoscopy june 11th...


As I was awake, I got to watch it all on the TV screen Actually, it was very interesting as the surgeon pointed out bits and pieces as he went along
