What really, really helped me was my hospital has a stupid system of everybody turns up at the same time at either 10am, 1pm or 3pm and wait your turn, so i phoned the week before explained about my anxiety and asked if they could arrange for me to go 1st. True to their word they did and it really helped or you could be waiting for a few hrs.
God I wish I’d known that! I had a nightmare journey and got there last! I could have wept when I realised it was first come first served, I waited over 3 hours....

Re: Endoscopy without sedation experience
Sounds like you had a really positive experience with the endoscopy procedure. I must say I am really scared.
Did you suffer acid reflux ? Was that the reason for your endoscopy?
Re: Endoscopy without sedation experience
Yes I was diagnosed with gastritis.
