Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/diagtest/uppend.htm Upper Endoscopy Upper endoscopy enables the physician to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The procedure might be used to discover the reason for swallowing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, reflux, bleeding, indigestion, abdominal pain, or chest pain. Upper endoscopy is also called EGD, which stands for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (eh-SAH-fuh-goh-GAS-troh-doo-AH-duh- NAH-skuh-pee). For the procedure you will swallow a thin, flexible, lighted tube called an endoscope (EN-doh-skope). Right before the procedure the physician will spray your throat with a numbing agent that may help prevent gagging. You may also receive pain medicine and a sedative to help you relax during the exam. The endoscope transmits an image of the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, so the physician can carefully examine the lining of these organs. The scope also blows air into the stomach; this expands the folds of tissue and makes it easier for the physician to examine the stomach. The physician can see abnormalities, like ulcers, through the endoscope that don't show up well on x-rays. The physician can also insert instruments into the scope to remove samples of tissue (biopsy) for further tests. Possible complications of upper endoscopy include bleeding and puncture of the stomach lining. However, such complications are rare. Most people will probably have nothing more than a mild sore throat after the procedure. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. Because you will be sedated, you will need to rest at the physician's office for 1 to 2 hours until the medication wears off. Preparation Your stomach and duodenum must be empty for the procedure to be thorough and safe, so you will not be able to eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours beforehand. Also, you must arrange for someone to take you home--you will not be allowed to drive because of the sedatives. Your physician may give you other special instructions. in Seattle Endoscopy > I'm new here.

I read yours today and I noticed that you are having your BPD/DS the same day as mine. I am having mine in Kettering, Ohio with Dr. Maguire. I am very anxious as I am very large, weighing about 360 or so and I am only 5 feet tall. I just wanted to say that I will keep you in my prayers and wish you all the luck in the world.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 You are not given general anesthesia, it's just some " happy drugs " so you really won't remember. The drugs do tend to stay in your system for about 12-24 hours. You might " think " your " fine " , but you will probably not remember anything the next day.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Out of a dozen or so I had (starting long before surgery), there was only one I slept off for several hours.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 I was fine right after each of mine and did stuff the rest of the afternoon though I was told not to drive. My husband on the other hand, slept the whole rest of the day after his. So it is hard to predict how you will react. -- Gigi lap RNY 7/00 lrfaulkner wrote: > I'm having my first endoscopy on Monday.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Best wishes for you on your " SURGERY ADVENTURE " Love & hugs, GRDMBEV Endoscopy I'm having an endoscopy done tomorrow morning at 7am. Its also the final day off school for the kids and they're off till 4th February. Then in the evening I'm having a growth cut out of my middle finger. So tomorrow is a day I'm not looking forward to. Plus being Friday 13th doesn't fill me with much hope LoL. I'm hoping to be awake and alert by 9am, but the last time I had one I slept all day. Anyway as long as I'm asleep that's fine. The finger is another story, I'm dreading that. I hate stitches. Well better go and get some sleep as I have to leave home at 6.30am. Goodnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
