    Well come 8:30am on the 31st I will be in the local hospital. Hopefully staying calm and the next day I will report back and let you know if i can do it anyone can.

    Btw I asked my doctor about it today and she said should be fine, she told me she seen a lady yesterday who had one done and she was in her 80s so i have to prove something to myself

    Yeah appointment seem to come quick i think its because they say a endoscopy is minor procedure (LOL seems hard to me) and some doctors surgerys can do it as well (from what i have been told).

    All done and dusted.

    A bit of a sore nose as they did it transnasal. Also lucky did it with out sedation just the spray.

    Was a little embarrassed as my eye weeped a bit like i was crying and burped a couple of times but apart from that not to bad.

    Only thing is my nose is bleeding abit so spitting up blood alot (but told that would be normal).

    Re: Endoscopy Whimp Question

    I too was very nervous about having an endoscopy but reading some of the positive posts on here really helped me. I just had to add my experience, after having the procedure 5 days ago. I made sure the doctor and nurses knew just how scared I was (not that I could have hidden it!), and I asked to have the throat spray and as much sedative as possible! I can honestly say I was unaware of the procedure from the moment the sedative was injected into the back of my hand, until I was woken to have my blood pressure taken when it was all over. I was relieved to find out my stomach aches are being caused by excess acid. I had been thinking and worrying about the procedure every day and night since before Christmas and kept putting it off. I'm so pleased I've had it done now and if I had to have another, I would be much calmer but would still ask for throat spray and lots of sedation! I hope this helps someone, as I was helped by reading other's experiences.
