| Re: Endoscopy Sedation-What do they use?
They will ask if you want to be put to sleep or stay awake with sedation. You don't want to be awake when they put the tube down, they have trouble getting it in and you might keep choking it back up. Do the anesthesia, you'll be asleep and the tube will go down nice and easily. You'll get some pictures afterwards of inside your stomach and esophagus. It only takes 10 minutes. You're going to be sore for a few weeks, but not badly at all. It'll linger and you'll think to yourself, god, what's with this. They are poking around in you, afterall. I go to the gym, so I unfortunately felt the soreness (kept forgetting and went to the gym anyway, but that's my problem).
