    Re: Having an endoscopy done tomorrow

    I just wanted to update my experience if anyone else is going through the same.
    I got to the center and spoke to the nurse got me to fill out paperwork as always. She was really nice and got an iv started. Then the anesthesiologist came over and more paperwork was filled. then the nurse took me to the endoscopy room, put some oxygen on me and started a low dose of anesthesia it was very relaxing, they put a contraption in my mouth and I don't remeber anything else. There was no pain at all. The whole thing lasted about 30 minutes. after that the doctor came over and told me he had taken several biopsies but did not see anything cancerous, he gave a pre liminary report and I will get full results next week in his office. this is what it said:
    -Duodenitis. Biopsied.
    -Gastritis. Biopsied.
    -Reflux esophagitis. Biopsied.
    -Non-severe reflux esophagitis. Biopsied.
    -Abnormal esophageal motility.

    so of course I'm trying not to freak out with the word abnormal; I will just wait until next week for the full results and ask him why is it abnormal. For now I'll just rest for the remaining part of the day. I hope this helps anyone else going thru the same. Good luck everyone!

    I have had 4 (last 2 I had a botox injection in my stomach). They aren't bad at all. Motility disorders are not uncommon. I don't have an esophageal motility disorder but I do have a gastric motility disorder (gastroparesis). For me my stomach empties way too slow.
