RE: Need Quick Info Regarding Endoscopy

[Guest guest]

I work for gastroenterologists who perform endoscopies all the time.

They use anesthesia called Propofol and you are totally out for the

duration of your procedure, but come too quickly after they stop

administering it. Kind of like the stuff they use at the dentist office,

only better. There are usually no residual side effects. Some people may

be sleepy afterwards, but not normally. You do have to have a driver to

take you home after your procedure and you shouldn't sign any important

documents within 24 hours of having it. A lot of these warnings are

overkill on the doctors part, but they do have to cover their butts and

too, some people do get a reaction from it. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck to you.
