Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I had one done in '03 at Mayo... for me they gave me good drugs (medazolam and something similar to valium?) and I honestly dont remember anything, so as far as i know it went fine... I would assume for a young child they would put her right out? dont know how it works for kiddos... as far as after affects, keep popsicles on hand... i had a pretty sore throat for a few days, but that was it! The worst part of it all was when they spray the numbing stuff in my throat... seriously if a bit of gagging is the worst of it, you can see it wasnt a terrible procedure... Hope it goes well!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Joey has a Enodscope every 6 months, due to his GERD. They go in and check for Barretts Asophogus, which is terrible sores in the stomach and asophogus. That can turn to cancer. The procedure it's self is pretty simple. And does not take very long at all. The only problem that we ever see is that Joey gets a sore throat afterwards and doesn't like to eat right away. Good Luck!! Everything will be fine!!!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Grace and I have had them. We both tolerated them well, but expect a really sore throat for a few days afterwords.
