i just had a sedated endoscopy today! now that it's all over, i'd say the worst parts had to be the anticipation and then ripping off the i.v. bandaid once i got home. i had propofol and after a few jokes with my dr and nurses i was just gone. i have zero recollection of the procedure, was woken up with a capri sun and was on my way in hardly any time at all. in fact, i walked (not alone) over a mile home. so, all in all i got peace of mind from my results and a free nap. if anyone is here because they are nervous, try not to be, get the drugs if you aren't allergic (it's fun) and think about what you're gonna eat later! you will do great :)
thenuclearshow your comment helped me. I'm currently in the waiting room. Thanks!
Spooky how’d yours go?
Same here.
comment helped i gotta get put under for the first time today
I’m scared about being nauseous
Just had mine done this morning I was petrified had it with sedation dont quite remember it going in just remember having a little gag and that was it before I knew it was over. If anyone is getting it done do not worry nowhere near as bad as it seems. Dont watch horrid stories on them you'll be absolutely fine. All the best and thank you for this video really helped me before I went in.
Hey Claudia, I had my endoscopy done this morning and honestly the whole time I was thinking about this video and it put my mind right at ease, so thankyou for helping me stay calm!
You're a doll! Thank you for this video. I also have anxiety and panic disorder as well, and this put my mind at ease about my procedure!
Me too!
it's really great that the staff where so understanding, that really helps. I have a huge fear of needles, i mean i do take them when i have to, but it's like the most nervous thing for me, i get sweaty my heart rate rises and the worst part is that everybody thinks that it's some stupid thing and i'm making a big deal out of it, and it's really annoying cause they dont seem to get that it's a real phobia...
and the last time i had to take a needle was a penicillin a couple of months ago and it was the first time i was taking it so they did the allergy test and nth showed and i took the shot and 10 seconds after it was done i went into anaphilactic shock and i literally thought that i was gonna die or like my brain was gonna explode or melt or sth, it was the most horrible experience of my life and after everyone is still acting like "it's nothing, get over it..."
sucks...
Next time order some numbing cream it really helps with needle fear
I wish you fast healing and all the best!
Veikko Elo thankyou for this, next week im having endoscopy and a colonoscopy and i was fine until today when i started worrying
Thank god for you posting this video!!!! I'm having my procedure done tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. I am much more calm about this after hearing your experience! Same with the anxiety disorder, it's terrible.
I had this procedure today and it really wasn't bad at all. The worst bit for me was the spray at the back of the throat which tastes pretty awful. You do gag a little bit as the camera is put down your throat, but it only lasts a moment. I was sedated, which just makes you feel relaxed but still fully conscious throughout. If I was to do this again I think I'd just go for the spray only. If anyone is going to have this procedure I'd say don't worry, it's absolutely fine, I've had no side effects at all and was back at work an hour or two later. I've had no nasty side effects, not even a sore throat.
I couldn't agree more!
I watched your video a few days after I had my sedated endoscopy earlier this week (should have watched it before 😁!). The procedure itself was very smooth and over before I knew it. No discomfort and no gagging at all, which I had been worried about. It turns out that being so chilled out by the sedative totally did the job it's designed to do. The main anxiety I suffered was in fact the anticipation of the procedure, and not the procedure at all!
The two things that were a bit annoying actually occurred after the procedure. One was when lying in recovery and not being sure when I could start swallowing properly again, slightly afraid I might choke if I do, because my throat still felt numb. Maybe some better explanations by the staff could have avoided that.
And the other was an annoying tickle in my throat, causing me to cough, about two or three hours later. But after drinking some tea it got better very quickly, and then it went away before I knew it.
But in summary: Anyone who needs to get an endoscopy, sedation is the way to go! No reason whatsoever to be worried about it!
Did you throw up after because i have a fear of throwing up and i have to get one tommorow morning 😔 I'm really scared
@@jasminrabadan1584 No, I didn't throw up, just a cough for a couple of hours, that was it. No reason to be scared at all. It'll be over before you know it. Good luck!
I'll be having this done in a week or two. This was very helpful. And I can listen to that accent all day! Thank you!
My endoscopy (and colonoscopy) was totally painless and easy! Very quick and not a big deal at all.
Thank you so much for this video. I've just come home from having my endoscopy and a week ago I was panicking a lot about it having anxiety myself too, my boyfriend found your video and showed me it and it made me feel a lot more at ease. I was absolutely dead set on having sedation until the doctor convinced me otherwise, I ended up having the throat spray and it really want half as bad as I thought it would be, I mean it wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't awful. Thank you so much for making this video, it really helped put my mind at ease.
I’ve done it with and without going under. Definitely don’t recommend doing it without anesthetics.
I'm having the procedure tomorrow, thanks to you now I feel so much better and less stressed😊
I had my first endoscopy in 1984 , a few weeks before my marriage on local anaesthestic and I was not comfortable ; I was fully conscious!
Last year I had another by general anaesthetic , and I do not even remember going to the theatre!
So scared getting general
Hi Claudia (tw emetophobia) I just wanted to say I had the same thing done a few months back and my experience was very different. Obviously if anyone is having it and is scared maybe don't read this but I feel the need to prepare some people for what happened to me. I had the sedation but it failed completely. I was completely awake and aware of what was happening and I also have very severe emetophobia so you can imagine how difficult this was for me. It was painful and I gagged and retched the whole way through the procedure and was incredibly distressed and my heart rate went up to 130bpm so my mum couldn't come in and comfort me and I struggled a lot with flashbacks and anxiety attacks afterwards. I don't know whether I was immune to the sedation or they didn't put enough in but this was the result and I know in 99% of cases it goes like how you said and most people aren't aware of what's going on and don't remember it afterwards but this is my experience just to warn anyone xx
yourqueenandlionheart 4 wELL THANKS FOR THAT 🖕🏾
Are you a redhead by chance? MCR1 can do that. I know from experience.
I have panic disorder/agoraphobia and I may have to have this done. This relaxed me a little.
Yea, my friend had this done, and they found he had an ulcer. Good for you that you were able to overcome your phobia, at least temporarily! I hope you can start to go out and really concentrate on overcoming this, because it leads to stagnation to let this limit your life so severely. Anyway, I'm a fan, and I hope to see you do more feminism videos, even though I'm on the opposite side, lol! I just like your videos I guess. ;) You just have a very attractive personality.
I had it without any anesthetics, with just the numbing thing and it was quite an unpleasant experience. Nothing too bad, but just uncomfortable, because you could feel a foreign object going down your throat, into your stomach, which is an experience on itself. Also (emetophobia tw?) it involved a lot of gagging which is never pleasant.
+Yvaia believe emetophobia tw stands for emetophobia trigger warning :)
WHAT? Gagging? Oh no. That’s why I’m here watching endoscopy videos. I’m terrified of nausea or throwing up and I’m so nervous and worried
Im having this done at the end of next week and I'm petrified :(
Mouse Potato how did it go?
I have mine in two days and I'm super scared but I think this really helped me
Same...end of the month for me 😑
I'm having this done in a couple of days.
It's fine, I just had one today. You don't remember anything, you just wake up.
thank you so much for sharing this. I have anxiety and panic disorder too and I'm pretty sure I will need an endoscopy too as I'm having same stomach problems as you. I really appreciate you sharing this.
I am having one done this week and I am not too nervous- just a little- and you’re right, it’s more the IDEA of it that’s scary. I am so thankful for sedatives! I could really relate to your story about anxiety/stress triggering stomach issues. This has been happening to me my entire life.
How did it go I’m having one this month I’m full of anxiety. Will the sedation make u drowsy the rest of the day ?
thank you for making this video, super informative and put my mind at rest about some parts of the procedure! I may need to have this done in the near future and I'm supes apprehensive about it, I have trouble with anxiety and the idea of something going down my throat isn't the best, but hearing you talk about the anaesthesia process is really great! I hope your health is getting better and thankyou again for openly talking about your experience
I had an endoscopy to look at my throat about a month ago, but they went through my nose. The numbing spray is soooo strange! I absolutely hated it because one of the problems I was having was difficulty swallowing, so once my throat went numb and I actually couldn't swallow I became so anxious omg.
For the actual procedure I was really scared, one because my friend told me it was awful, two because I was worried they would find nothing wrong with me, three because I was worried they'd find something WORSE than expected and I freaked out the first time the doctor tried to put the tube in my nose.
But after that it was groovy, I got to see my vocal folds and finally be put at ease at the prospect of having vocal nodules, even though that's not what I was there for I've just always been paranoid as a singer I can't help it!
I was still super upset afterwards and cried in that car but that's because it cost me $370 out of pocket and they didn't even find a problem he just said it was "probably reflux" and gave me a prescription and I was down $370 and I'm poor as hell mannnn
But I freakin loved seeing what the camera saw it was so fun!!!
I had it done today and I didn't feel anything, I went under in less than 3 minutes and woke up painless Just drowsy for the most part. It happen really fast and yes it was over before I knew it. It's really nothing to worry about accepted for the IV pinch when that was over it was a relief.NO WORRIES!!
I got one a week from today im petrified. Most know me as a pretty strong guy but this is shaking me to my core.
Thank you so much for this video! You're so adorable and delightful! I have had panic disorder most of my life. I could be your grandma. I went thru a year of breast cancer treatment and now my stomach is acting up and I have to go in for the endoscopy. I will worry so much less after watching your video! Best wishes. I hope all is going well for you now!
I got mine today.
It wasn’t even bad the worst part for me was only drinking liquids and fasting after but overall it was great I didn’t feel anything and i came back home and the best part about all of this is eating lol and that the procedure is over. If you’re getting yours don’t be scared.
There’s nothing to be scared about really, good luck.❤️
Thanks so much for this video! I too have anxiety and have to have one done, and everything you said put me at ease. There really isn't any other video on YT that is so comprehensive and for folks with anxiety. Thanks for explaining it so well!
I'm 4 years late here but it's honestly my pleasure to have helped in some way xxx
Here you go you’re so adorable I just wanna had mine on Wednesday all went well it wasn’t bad at all waiting for final report
its painful?
Thank you so much for posting this- I’m having an endoscopy and colonoscopy today and feel so much more relaxed about it now.
Thanks for video!! I am getting this in a few days ! Getting nervous now!! I was told that i will have my throat numbed and then they get on with it! And it will be about 5 minutes at the most! Your video has helped me feel a little at ease but im still nervous!! Its good to hear it doesn’t hurt at least!!
I just went thru it on Friday and your video gave me solace. I actually only remember them trying to put it down and then I dont remember anything. I am also a huge baby and got thru it. :)
Were you awake with sedation?
Hey, so I was awake but they did sedate me with something which made me not remember it. I remember them asking me to tilt my head a certain way and they put the camera in and I gaged a little and wanted it out and thats the last thing I remember.
Thanks for sharing, Claudia! I've always wondered what endoscopy procedures were like (since I also suffer from stomach pains).
I just had one done. I also have anxiety. It went horrible. The sedation didn't work. At all. They gave me injection after injection. I was WIDE awake and remember everything... They blind folded me and stuck the tube down telling me to swallow then not to swallow once it was down. Felt like i couldn't breath and I violently gagged the entire time. Horrible. Never again.
Thanks for sharing.....I'm going in tomorrow morning to have it done. I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety too. I really scared but I feel a bit better after watching this video. Xx
I am having one of these and a Colonoscopy at the same time at the end of the month and I am so scared. Scared of being put to sleep and what will happen. Your post helps so I thank you for being so honest in it.
in my country they do it with general anesthesia
Where r u from ? 😅
@@Kimgimbap Algeria 🇩🇿
Thank you for posting your experience and for all the specific details--it was very helpful... Hopefully all goes well for me tomorrow...my anxiety gets the best of me at times.
Yes it's worth it. I allow fear to prevent me from doing it, and when I finally did I couldn't believe it was so easy.
I'm going for my second endoscopy April 17th I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 but moved to Northern ireland with my wee family just short of 2 yrs ago ..thanks for your video it makes us all feel better about the procedure to come 😇👍
I had an endoscopy last March and prior to it I was a nervous wreck at the idea of them putting that tube down my throat into my stomach and it showed on the heart monitor during pre-op. My pulse rate was going crazy, but my gastro doctor was very kind and told me it would be all right and over before I knew it. I was given propofol in the actual surgical room and felt a wonderful sensation of warmth and then I was out and the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. I did feel a strange sensation down in the lower portion of my esophagus and then found out they had taken some samples to look for a certain kind of bacteria, but after I drank a little and ate a bit that sensation went away. All in all, not a bad experience at all, but I can't imagine doing it without sedation of some kind.
Hope this is my experience got one a week from today.
Ok, so I had my second endoscopy today... I'm the ying to your yang. This procedure was not easy and relaxing. I have anxiety issues and that didn't help. I had the throat spray which freezes your throat so I couldn't swallow... that wasn't great. Then when the camera was pushed into your mouth as soon as it hit my throat I was wretching. Ultimately the examination had to be done and showed no bad symptoms... but it was not a pleasant experience. I did gag multiple times throughout. I'm sorry to paint a darker picture but I think my experience and yours are at polar ends of the spectrum. It was rough
Allotment Grow How You did it with just the spray , had the same experience , really sucked and if I think about I can still kinda feel the tube.
Allotment Grow How Well thanks for being so fucking reassuring.
@@melomaniah I know right!!
Were u sedated? I think she was
Thanks for making this video, Claudia, I really appreciate it. I'm due to have the same procedure for the same reason as yourself and this has reassured me a little. I have Anxious Personality Disorder (Severe Social Phobia) and I know I'm going to be a mess on the day but I'll try to remember everything you've said in the run up to it. Keep everything crossed for me, please!!! Xxx
I'm having mine done on Tuesday and I'm terrified of anything going near my throat or neck x
So kind of you to share your experience. I feel much better about it. Thank you. I feel your pain about anxiety. Hope your doing better 😍
I’m going for mine this morning & to say I’m scared will be a understatement lol! I can’t stand anything in my mouth, the fear of it blocking my breathing and choking 😭 erghhh I’m dreading it so much xx
Fingers crossed for you! My experience was just fine, and it's really quite quick. I get how scary it is. I was really freaking out beforehand! But the majority of people seem to be saying theirs were fine, so I really do think yours will be the same. Make sure to tell them that you're scared beforehand. They might be able to help you more and make it easier. Best of luck, and you can do it! xxx
@@ClaudiaBoleyn Thanks for your message! I read it just before I went in! Can’t say I loved it but it deffo was not as bad as I expected, I did remember most of what happened and I was gagging a awful lot but I was sedated enough to not be bothered by what was happening even tho it was quite painful aswell but like I said I wasn’t bothered because of the sedation! I’m so glad it’s over, had so many sleepless nights over it but I would do it again without worrying if I needed too! Thanks for your video, it really did help xx
I have panic disorder too. And recently I've been feeling burning in my chest and nausea. So scared but I have to know what going on so I'm going to to ask my doctor to get this procedure done.
Im scheduled to have this done tomorrow. Im losing weight and Im anemic, can't find why. Wish me luck pls.
Burrito Sabanero how was it??. I'm having one next Friday
"You say things you wouldn't normally say" There's a story there, Claudia, isn't it?
(someone took a video of me on anaesthetic and it's SO funny)
Anyway, I hope you're as alright as you can possibly be xxx
I'm due to have an endoscopy so this information was really good to listen too so, thank you Claudia.
No worries! I hope it goes well for you! xxx
Thanks for sharing ! such a lovely girl, i also suffer from anxiety and panic disorder. I'm from USA we could share some experiences and thoughts about our mental health. As well as tips of what has worked for you. I'm on medication and it seems to be controlling it, however i don't really want to be on it all my life or long term.....I'm having my endoscopy done in a few hours and my anxiety just kicked in badly but your videos gave me some peace so thank you!
Im petrifed of getting "put under".. give me needles and a dentist anyday..ive been getting lots of reflux..chest pain and i burp alot.. hopefully its just Gerd.. im scared of the procedure and what they are gonna find 😢
cheetah puss
How did it go?
I have Gerd and im getting one done tomorrow
I just had mine done and it went fabulous. They stretched something in there so that I could swallow again.
Having one on Thursday and I'm a proper fanny, which is why I'm here, checking out this video. It's reassuring to watch. Thank you.
Having this done soon, so thank you so much for sharing your story! 🤗
I’m getting on may 21st and I’m so scared lol. I recently started getting panic attacks and extreme stress. I’m curious to know if it is related. **by the way anyone who suffers from real panic attacks I feel so bad for you guys it is literally the worst feeling ever! Ughhh anyways I’m glad your results weren’t anything worrisome! God bless 💕
Claudia you're wonderful for sharing your experience with us. Thanks for the love !
I had this too. I had the throat numbing spray, it was really weird! Not very nice though.. When you can feel it scratching against your insides and gagging in front of loads of doctors ew! But yeah the spray thing is weird, like kind of feels like your throat is closing up in a way. :')
it's so interesting to me that they gave you the option of using a mild anesthetic or just something to numb the throat! i had an upper endoscopy 3 years ago and my doctors put me completely under through IV sedation. i live in the US though, so i wonder if that's got something to with it? just different medical practices? i also have an extreme fear of vomiting/nausea, so i was very scared to have the procedure done, just like you. but i'm glad you had a pleasant experience and i hope you continue to do well in your physical/mental health journey!!
+Kayla It is much easier in America because we have a much better health care system than they do in the UK.
+Anna Liddell do I have to pay
I always advise people to ask for full general anesthetic. I freak out so bad when I'm awake, and most people I know do too.
You can have MAC (monitored anesthesia care), which uses propofol
Thank you for this. ❤ Your video relieved a lot of my anxiety surrounding this procedure that I'm having soon.
I get this done in a few weeks and I'm so nervous 😬😭. Im so worried for what I will say/ do after 😩😂
thank you for making this video. i get my test done on the 10th and i have been terrified not only about the procedure but the results im gonna get and you put my mind and ease. thanks again.
at*
How was it and your results were they good?
See I'm in the US...getting this procedure done soon and my doctor said I'm being put to sleep for it. Like my doctor says you are not conscious for this
Thank u for this I haven’t had this in a few years and I don’t remember what it was like so I’m scared rn cause mines 1 day from now
Getting mine done tomorrow. Feeling better about it now. Thanks for the video.
I’m getting my third one on Tuesday and will get propofol - thank goodness as I have a terrible gag reflex!
How is it ? I am to have one soon both colo and endo
Glad you are felling better.
When about did you have this procedure done? I have an appointment tomorrow, you said you were given a mild anaesthetic through canola. NHS has crashed recently and no ones announcing it. I doubt I will be given anything. I have been waiting for a hernia operation, and they have come up with every imaginable excuse not to operate, I was due to have an operation on the 6th of Sept, 2 excuses I still haven't seen the anaesthetist yet and he has to clear me first for the operation, second most stupidest excuse I have heard, theres no guarantee that the pain will go away after the hernia repair. I already had my pre-op on the 8th of August still waiting. I had a hysteroscopy today (without any sedatives) I took my own liquid morphine in and took it before the procedure. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow. But thank you for this wonderful video. It has calmed my nerves quite a bit.
Have to get this done .
THANKYOU MINES TOMORROW I’m so scared - but Thankyou for your honest experience - I also have anxiety and panic disorder so I’m freaking outtttt.
How was it I'm nervous as hell
I've got mine tomorrow. I have terrible Vomitphobia so I am dreading it. Thank you for the reassurance.
thanks for this , I'm having one done and i am petrified, the thought of a "pipe" down my throat...just feels wrong. But it has to be done so things can hopefully get right i guess :/ Hope you're feeling better!
I'm having one next week and this calmed me down sooo much, thank you!!
Thank you for this video!
Ive been suffering with a stomach problem for about 5years now with certain foods, and i get severely sick along with severe stomach pains and even back pain.
This year has been crazy busy with doctors and getting test done.
I’m getting a scope done in about 2wks finally. Ill be getting knocked out though while I’m getting it done. Hopefully ill get answers soon🙏🏻
Thanks again for this video☺️
Hope you got answers and it wasn't too bad.
Next Thursday is my D Day and thank you so much because I too have anxiety/panic attacks and I was thinking about throat spray but from your experience and what I see on comments , I think I'll go for the chilled out experience. I was hoping to stay alert cos I have to take care of my disabled son but I realise now I'm going to need more help on the day if I get sedated.
I hope it goes well! I'm sure it will! xxx
I had this done a few years ago except that it was from the other end-presumably ‘lower’ endoscopy then. It was a few minutes of tolerable but significant discomfort. Going in, I was more worried of possible embarrassing responses to the intrusion 😜. A millisecond later...no, definitely not my thing.
I had to watch this twice, I spent the first 5 minutes checking which DVD's you have - Lots of Doctor Who, you have good taste ;-)
Question, did you have to wear a hospital gown? I've got one of these in just over a week, not looking forward to it if I'm honest, going to have a quiet word and ask for the maximum legal dose of the "chilled out" drug.
I’m having one today, I honestly am not scared about being out under but I am worried that after it I will feel bloated and like I need to throw up. (I hate throwing up to the point where I’m almost scared of it)
Anyone that’s had the procedure done, did you have stomach pains, bloating, etc. after?
Glitch King how did it go? I’m terrified and have emetophobia
@@sazjh Honestly, it was fine. I was super scared going into it and then when they put me out all I remember was waking up feeling fine.
@@sazjh Plus there wasnt any stomach pain, bloating, or anything after it and when you get put out it just feels like you just slept, doesn't feel like anything medical.
Glitch King did they put you under general anaesthetic or just sedation?
sarah higgins general anesthesia
I'm supposed to have an endoscopy next Friday and am freaking out. They told me they're going to give me propofol so I'll "be out of it," but I'm terrified about throwing up before and/or after the procedure. I have horrible emetophobia.
Jaclyn Smith how did it go??? I have mine but I’m so scared and they told me they will use propofol
Propofol is the best! No wonder MJ loved it!
Thank you. A very excellent and informative video with precise details, well done. Many thanks for your feedback on what to expect during the procedure.
I may have to get this done this helps me so much people that have done this how did it go? (Have anxiety disorder)
This has helped me sooo much! I'm so nervous, I have my endoscopy in a few weeks 😭😖
I fear I will anic as well as I too have the disorder but theyknow me very well and the nurse dude just loves me. I pray it will go well. You have calmed me so much. You are lovely and ihope you will stay heslthy.xo cheers.
I'm paranoid about them puncuring anything. That's what stops me from going through with getting one.
I hope you are feeling more better
I'm getting this tomorrow. Partly regreting watching videos.
I have been told I need this but I am too scared to go through with it . I have really bad anxiety
i got mine done 3 times and they put me completely under the whole time like full anesthesia. i was out.
Did they spray ur throat to numb it before they put u under?
@@rukeyamitchell6777 no they did not
@@katyrosso3043 I'm so scared to be put under...
Some people were sedated but could feel every thing
Others were totally asleep and felt nothing.
@@katyrosso3043 what do the do when they put u totally under...what happens and how does it feel before u fall asleep
@@rukeyamitchell6777 it basically everything starts sounding slow motion and then you just cant keep your eyes open anymore and u fall asleep. its not bad at all. the worst part is the iv being put in and taken out
I had one was so scared on the table was shaking the next thing I knew I was knocked out and woke up like 30 min's later and felt silly for having a panic attack on the table.
I have mine at 8am tomorrow morning ugh lol I’m having severe heartburn , horrible bloating , And lots of burping so hopefully they find out what’s wrong
How did it go? Did you feel nauseas after the procedure because I'm getting mine don't tommorow morning and I'm so scared if feeling nauseas

Very brave of you to have this done and share it with us Claudia,I'm having mine in a few weeks will you come and hold my hand?.
I’m feeling really anxious I have emetophobia and panic disorder and I’m so scared to have the colonoscopy and endoscopy but they’re putting me completely out:(
Chloé E have you had it done? If so how did it go? I have emetophobia too and I might get referred for an endoscopy for my acid reflux etc but I’ve read you cannot be fully under general anaesthetic but I really want to otherwise I will panic so bad
@@sazjh did you make it?
IrishNZ _ I haven’t had one yet, only just been spoke to the hospital about it but they’re gonna do one
I got mine in a few hours. I think I got this
Thank you for sharing💖 I really needed to hear it
They booked me for an emergency one so I have no time to prepare... I was told on Thursday - It's technically Friday now and the endoscopy is tomorrow. I am panicking so hard about it; I can't calm down DX
Deep breaths my friend. You can't change it by worrying and if you remain as calm as possible and try to relax you will make it easier because you'll be less stressed when it comes to it. You have to give yourself the best chance at being calm. Honestly, it is incredibly quick. Like I said, I was asleep throughout. There was no pain whatsoever. It was the panic beforehand that was the worst part. Try to do something that you find calming. Read a book you like, watch a film you enjoy, draw, write, look up a person you admire. I'll admit I was exactly the same as you before my procedure but from experience I can tell you it will not be as bad as you think. In fact it will probably be a huge relief because you'll be able to see what's wrong! Also when you've done it you feel great. You can feel so proud of yourself! I have complete faith in you. I know you can do it. xxx
I go tomorrow for an endoscopy too! Can't wait for it to be over with.
Stacey Musto how was it?
A very reassuring video, thank you i really needed this.
Oh man, I'm doing this in 3 days time.. I hate gagging I have emetophobia but I think I might have gastritis right now. I'm not really worried but I just hate to gag!
Did your gastritis healed?
Yeah - _Colonoscopy_ under "Twilight Sedation" is kind of a different story... Not such a lack of "discomfort" IIRC!
Thank you for your video. It was very helpful
I'm in the exact same boat, gotta do an endoscopy soon and have panic disorder.
