Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I've had one too, although for mine I was not put out for it. They numbed my throat and that was it. It wasn't bad and it doesn't take too long for them to do it either.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Kristy--I hope your stomach biopsy went okay without a hitch. I'm thinking it's very similar to a regular endoscopy, and I've had several of those without any problems. J. Mankato, MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Ella, Endoscopy is a tube they put down the throat with a tiny camera. They can then see what's going on. I had one done in June because I too was naseaus all the time. I ended up that during my healing process I healed so well they said that my tube to my pouch was 3/4 of the way healed shut. They ballooned it open and I've been great ever since. You'll need a driver because they will probably give you some valium and a little twilight. It isn't painful just a little unconfortable. Good luck and take care. Laurette 4/23/04 open rny 309/290/232/150 St. Charity Cleveland, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Kristy, Sorry, I just got this, but yes, I had a scope done prior to surgery. They just to make sure everything is okay inside. It was a piece of cake, no pun intended! It was painless. How did yours go? in Delaware Lap RNY 3/10/04 261/166/120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
