I've been approved for surgery but need to have a CT scan and barium swallow first. Anyone know if the barium swallow is similar to endoscopy?

Was it worth getting for you? How was recovery? What were your symptoms?

Apparently they sometimes do if it is under 5cm, .mine is 4cm...

I haven't been accepted for it yet but fingers crossed, will cost me 7k going private if NHS turn me down!

Anyone on here had it done?

Just got back from my second, they are now saying it's antral gastritis whatever that is, they want me to try taking anxiety tablets too. My heart rate went through the roof when I went in 180? Which was was mental to me as I felt very calm. They were all panicking for a bit and hooked me up to...

I couldn't get it done without sedation either, sedation is what I had. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you next time mate,.once that sedation goes in you stop giving a ****.

I was absolutely ******** myself for the first one, but it was absolutely fine.

Mine is also Tuesday, got to fast for 12 hours too :(

Honestly mate if your symptoms continue don't let the endoscopy worry you, just get sedated. I'm actually looking forward to mine on Tuesday so try and get some answers

My gastritis doesn't seem to be going away, been on two different ppis, non acidic diet for a month, tried a few different supplements to help. Just constant stomach pain and heartburn, it's ripping my life apart, thinking of quitting my job or atleast going part time for now. Didn't even know...

Been a postman for 17 years, still only 38 so have plenty of my working life left, god knows what I will do if it goes **** up.

So I've got to go back and get mine done again because I started puking near the end, I didn't even eat for 6 hours like they said, they did say I have a small hiatis hernia and gastritis (non erosive) from what they have found so far. Just a pain I have to go back. The sedation had me clean...

I take it the colonoscopy is advised if they find nothing on the endoscopy?

nice one, got mine tomorrow. Google tell me 1 in 2000 people die from endoscopy, that cant be right surely?

Could I play the same save on this using GAMEPASS on pc and Xbox?

Has that ulcer gone now?what did they give you for it?

Thanks people Keep getting it into my head that I have stomach cancer, even though I don't have most of the symptoms (just stomach pain and constant heartburn) just never had something going on like this for 3 month before so just keep thinking the worst. Hopefully Tuesday will go fine.

Are we going to war then? Would royal mail workers have to go to war? hope not :D

They gave me lansoprazole but it made me much worse and gave me diarrhea, so they said i might as well stop taking it, i think you need to stop taking lansoprazole before having an endoscopy anyway so be pointless going back on it now.
