Preparing for Your Endoscopy Procedure at Springfield Clinic 

Just had this done. I recommend you get the anesthesia versus swallowing the tube awake. I didn't feel a thing and it was over in about 30 minutes. Best nap ever.

I've had my endoscopy yesterday and trust me i dont feel anything i dont even remember anything! It was the best nap ever!

I'm getting this procedure done tomorrow at the University of Chicago Medical Center. That's why I came to this video to get an understanding of how things might go.

Having a preliminary tour of the endoscopy unit helps a lot in lessening the patient’s fear of the procedure. Actually, a comprehensive patient education prior to the procedure is compulsory for all surgical procedures.

I’m having one next month and I’m FREAKING OUT!!! I’ve canceled this appointment several times.

I avoided getting an endoscopy done for six years until i HAD to have it done. I was put to sleep through the process. And i woke up feeling like id just had the best sleep ever. And thinking i cant believe i put this off for six years! Im weeks away from having another endoscopy with no fears 😊

I've had it both ways, awake and asleep. Can't beat sedation, but truthfully, it wasn't so bad without. Just uncomfortable, with some pressure like gas. Certainly not unbearable. And it's true what they way, the prep is far worse than the actual procedure.

I’m glad i got informed about how it’s going to be because i was worried. My procedure is today at 2pm. This video calmed my anxiety.

I like this video because patient's voices are so groggy can't understand them. This is straight to the point.

Had to get the cov test today which is Today is Friday, Have it done Monday Not really scared of the test I’m scared of the outcome What they may find like cancer.. All I’m gone do is pray and put it in Gods hand..please pray for me..

I'm having one done tomorrow and I'm freaking out. 😭😭

im 16 and im getting mine done in 7 hours and i am so incredibly anxious. wish me luck guys 💀

I’m getting my endoscopy done tomorrow morning and I’m so nervous 😩

Best video I’ve seen yet. Explains everything. Thank you

I just got this procedure done here in Finland 🇫🇮 I was awake the whole time..took about 10 minutes and only thing they used was a numbing spray for my throat. It was agonising ..and felt horrible. I could feel the scope when it reached lower down to the intestines. It wasnt nice at all. Anyone who gets the sedation is lucky

I have the worst anxiety ever and I’m so nervous to get one done tomorrow… I’m freaking out so bad 😓😓😓😓

So how does this work when an individual has a very hypersensitive gag reflex i mean , to the point dental xrays for teeth are challenging

My Doctor order endoscopy for me. Bariatric surgery. Very safe.they make me feel very comfortable.they put me to sleep. Wakeup in recovery room. Gave me juice and snacks.

Had a upper endoscopy on Thursday it was a nightmare hell very traumatic experience third time around I remember the oxygen only I didn’t remember the scope or sedated I know I didn’t see or hear nothing at all then I started waking up as the scope was coming out completely fast then I was told by the nurses I pulled out the scope I didn’t think was possible for this to happen as I wasn’t aware of anything happening then dr said I was distressed I wasn’t aware of this I feeling traumatised by this the dr said he stopped how it possible I was aware of anything it certainly freaked me out the first time wasn’t a problem the second the sedation didn’t work hell or awful experience not knowing how it happened because I was in a deep sedation having a antihistamine night before the endoscopy process

It’s not that bad just did this today I was so nervous but honestly wasn’t that hard just scary when they said you wont remember this and I fell asleep woke up didn’t even know they started it yet ! Unlucky I was diagnosed with an ulcer and aging pancreatitis and they took some sample for lab testing the only symptoms you really get is a tight chest chills and feeling of anxiety and maybe alittle sore throat but they’ll get you what you want and that’s a diagnosis!

Getting mine done in a few hours hopefully they find the problem a little nervous, never been under anesthesia.

Doctors must make big money from this procedure because it seems anyone who complains of any stomach pain is ordered to get one of these. I have no abnormal labs whatsoever besides anemia which is improving and they want to do this test. Don't know what to think.

I had my endoscopy today, and it was super easy. I had mine with sedation, and I HIGHLY recommend if you are going to have an endoscopy to have sedation if you are nervous about the procedure. In the procedure room, they made me lay on my left side, and one of the nurses sprayed a throat numbing spray in my mouth. It didn't taste great, but it was tolerable. My doctor gave me Versed to make me less anxious and sleepy, but it did absolutely nothing (I was talking and having conversations at the max dose lol). So they had to call in the anesthesiologist to give Propofol. The anesthesiologist said she just gave me a little of it, and I was completely out. Then I was in the recovery room!!! No recollection of the procedure at all! I was just a little groggy and tired afterwards, but it was completely fine! Super easy procedure!!! If you guys have any questions, please ask me!

I got one when I was 11 and it wasn't scary and not painful

I'm having mine tomorrow afternoon, but I don't even know if I should eat or drink anything before procedure ! Im going in there blind ( so to speak )Hmm should I be nervous? I'm giving them a call in the morning to find out what I need to or not need to do.

I need to have one of these soon and I'm so nervous!!! Im 16. Does anyone know if it hurts? Including cannula and everything.

I went to the hospital for constant stomach pain and nausea, specially at night. I have an appointment tomorrow and he’ll probably make another appointment for an endoscopy. I’m so nervous and worried.

My mum is scared of the process Pls any advise?

Had endoscopy under sedation but apparently they were not able to finish it because I had ripped the scope out of my throat each time... couldn’t recall myself doing such a thing! Next time they’ll do the procedure under anesthesia, hopefully that works. Also, the throat numbing spray they give you tastes literally like a heavily carbonated sugar free banana. That’s the best I can describe it, tasted horrible!

Anyone that’s scared I got mine today and it was lowkey a relief

My doctor ordered an endoscopy, since my colonoscopy was normal, I wish my stomach would just tell me what's wrong.

I am doing it soon too, don't worry! I hope I am not awake either :-\ I think they give you the option!! Hopefully.. what day are you going?? what country are you from?

I'm having one done next Tuesday, and my anxiety is eating me alive. 😩😭😭

I’m terrified! You guys say a prayer 🙏🏽 for me as I get mine done. I’m such a whimp 😞

Im having tomorrow,im 12, im so scared😢

I have endoscopy procedure next month. I was told no food or liquid after midnight before procedure....not even to take my morning meds for HBP, etc? Is this fasting restriction reasonable and medically necessary prior to procedure? Thanks.

I have to go for this and a biopsy Feb 7

I'm getting endoscopy them colonoscopy the same day. I hope they send near enough knock me out before hand. I have awful gag reflex and even thinking about it is making me feel ill. I assume colonoscopy will be a piece of cake but the prep before it is horrible. Roll on 4 days.

Y endoflip and bravo is this Wednesday and the hospital I'm going to they bring you straight to the procedure room

This scares me a lot :'(

I go for this and a colonoscopy on the same day February 28th. It’s the anniversary of my dad’s death. Actually, the day WE, his kids, found out he was murdered. I will absolutely come back and tell you how it goes. I will be going under of course. ❤

I am also going to suffer one of these in 2 months thing so i am so scared about it

It sounds very funny for the procedure like endoscopy. For example, in Lithuania (Europe), you will take 10 minutes for this procedure, just arrive, go onto special bed, open your mouth and into YOU being alive the probe will be put into your stomach for two minutes, that's it. You get up from a bed, and go home after 10 minutes before you arrived the same day.

Do u get to go home afterwards or wait until u get the results

I got to have one off these on 7th April and I’m worrying as I also had a kidney transplant when 3 and I’m worrying

I'm having this on the 16th of this month, wish me luck as I'm kinda nervous.......

I have breathing problems severe sleep apnea, I'm scared I might choke or suffocate during the procedure.

I’m getting one today and idk why but I’m nervous af

I'm having one done next month I have one best doctor Dr Shah

I had this they gave me something through my iv dont remember nutthin after

I need to get this done on Friday because smth is going on with my throat and I’m HELLA WORRIED, I need to also get a covid test on Wednesday so I can even do it and I have anxiety so even a shot is just so nerve wrecking for me. I hope I don’t accidentally COME OUT when I’m put under the anesthesia. :(

I'm getting mine done on the 29th of this month I'm a little nervous

3:09 *Management will be called soon* . . . . very soon

I have a question what happened if they find foods in your lungs ?

I need one but 😭 does that make u gag 😭

My mom just had one but she still can't speak or use her right arm

12 and having this in about 2 days. Does anyone know if this hurts?? I'm scared af 😂

I'm 18 and so scared of ampules and serums! does my arm really have to be injected?

so glad i was put to sleep

Can I still wear my cartilage piercing?

This really told you nothing about the procedure itself

My grandma went and got her done January 14 but she had a cardiac arrest they try to do CPR on her but I guess the anesthesia was to strong for her so she didn't make it the ambulance game and took her to the hospital she was on life support after I seen her she wasn't breathing on her own they kept trying to bring her back she keep having 4 heart attacks I don't no if it was the anesthesia or what happened 😢

Lol I have to have tomorrow and I have the munchies 😔

oh cool. I go in on Tuesday Morning, but I am from South Australia, so I don't know what time it would be for you?! Well, from what I have read and seen on the videos I am certain they tell you afterwards! As they can't really do anything right there and then, if it was for a down below (your bum) then I know for sure, they get rid of it straight away. But because its going down your mouth, then I don't think they can do the same thing! Maybe ring early morning Monday and ask :)

I had 3 down 1 in 2018 I found out I was gluten free 2 last year my ephous was setred and a colonoscopy in 2019 I found out I was dairy free and had ibs.

Im having this done on Monday. With sedation are you completely out of it and does it hurt? Im dreading the gag reflex!!!

😁

horrid procedure , do not recommend, it is very very painful , and the next two days do not sleep , you can choke on your tongue due to supremio anesthesis really weigh your options
