Got my endoscopy today and in soooo scared about being sedated, don't think I can do it without as I panic and gag lots! How long are you sedated for? And I'm so scared about the results!!!

I'm panicking already please help, I'm tempted to cancel :(

Please don't cancel as you will regret it later. The sedation is brilliant and you are only sedated long enough for the procedure to take place. You won't remember anything about it and will feel fine again in no time.
I was like you worrying about it but now that I have had it I wouldn't worry if I had to go through it again.

Yes it can be done without sedation and if you can relax it won't hurt as Littlemisssunshine has shown us :)
I wasn't so brave and had sedation.
