steventangent Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 An esophagogastroduodenoscopy. That's a mouthful to type. Anybody here ever had one? And by one, I mean that thing I said? Where they shove a camera all up down your throat hole and take a peek at your stummy? Because I'm totally dreading the shit out of it!

Guest eriathomas Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My friend had one, and said it was easy and fast. I think they relax your gag reflex so you don't puke up all the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 That's reassuring. Thanks. This was just one more goddamn thing I was stressing over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydiawesome Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I had one once and my throat was sore afterwards but maybe they've improved their techniques since then. Maybe they can sedate you so that you don't have to go through it awake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subhomeseabs Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Its not bad at all. You're under a small amount of anesthesia (sp?) and you barely even notice whats happening to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 i used to work in a doctors office and he did these procedures all the time. they'll knock you out with this light anesthesia they continually push, then you literally wake up like 3 minutes after they stop pushing it. altogether, it doesn't take longer than 5 - 10 minutes for the actual procedure. no big deal.

steventangent Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 It was cake, I was nervous over nothing. I actually feel yucky now because of the biopsy, or maybe that I haven't eaten. But yeah. I slept through it, and woke up feeling fine. My pants were unzipped for some reason but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
