I'm just doing this post in case another person is going to have an endoscopy and is worried about it . I had mine done yesterday and I feel a bit foolish about the amount of worry I put myself through . It was so simple and easy I was in at 8 and out by 11. Firstly its form filling then blood pressure and then a needle in the hand . (I'm needle phobic ) and even this bit went well . Next thing you walk into a room and the surgeon sprays your throat with a liquid I can only describe as yuck . Does anyone remember children's medicine an before they put sugar and flavour in them .Well I can honestly say that was the worst bit . You are then given a mouth guard to put in your mouth . After that I remember nothing .Half an hour later I am chatting away like it never happened . So if you are going to have this procedure please dont worry as it really dosnt hurt .
