FYI -- just had an endoscopy & they're a piece of cake. About the same as taking a nice, refreshing nap. So no need to fear one if you need it.
The results, OTOH....
Lab tests aren't back yet.

My experience was similar; I had a double-ended combo just before last Christmas and had only two worries.
When I asked my GI doctor whether the instruments were color-coded, he laughed, but assured me that the two units were sufficiently different in appearance to prevent their being mixed up.
When I found out that they would be using the same anesthetic which led to Michael Jackson's demise, I insisted the anesthesiologist remain in the room at all times and never, ever, phone in his instructions.
BTW, that stuff is GOOD, what struck me the most is the rapidity with which one regains full mental function, there's no residual wooziness.
Even with this experience, though, I am not looking forward to getting endoscoped every two years. Hospitals still give me the creeps.
Unless there's video, it didn't happen. :twisted:
Ewwww.

That is all.
Yeah. I wouldn't Google that if I were you.

Whatever they gave me today was so good, that the last I remember before the surgery was laying on the gurney in the hall. If I was even remotely awake when they wheeled me in, I have no recollection of it.

QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

FWIW, I wasn't in a hospital. The gastroenterologist did it in his private office -- it was very routine for him.
"...every two years."
Ummmmmm....wish I had done it every two years.
And, no, it's is definitely NOT a video that ya wanna see!

Yea, it was pretty impressive. Out like a light, then woke up feeling just fine when it was all over. Great stuff!
