Anyone had an endoscopy?

I had a endoscopy a couple of years ago, no sedation, just a little anasthetic spray in the mouth:D

Wasn't too bad actually, i was more gutted that i couldn't see the monitor!

Barium=liquid chalk! i've had far too many of those!!

Same, did you get the feeling that you've just ate a fair amount and a certain part of your stomach is still starving?

I saw the stomach juices going out in front of my eyes :eek:

Still feel 'off'
 
Had the Endo and the Colon one done

Neither are pleasent - still make me feel dodgy thinking about them.

Thank christ they don't use the same cameras :eek: :eek:

Yeah apparently they can put one up your japs, and unlike the "cocktail umbrella" legend, this one aint a myth.

sure can, have done it myself, i didn't cause any pain apparently :p
 
Had 2 colonoscopies and they're not too bad as I was pretty much drugged up.

The worse I've had so far is a camera through my belly button. (Can't remember the medical term at the moment). The procedure isn't too bad, but my stomach was pumped up with gas so that the surgeon could have a good look around. What I was not told though, is that the gas has to escape somehow, so it works its way up through the chest over the next few days, so that the whole of your torso feels like you have been hit by a very large truck.
And i would like to point out that I know about painful procedures as I've had 4 babies and had a lumbar puncture.

Beloved OH has had a catheter which made his and my eyes water when they took it out. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH
 
All this talk of putting cameras up here and down there… surely they don’t actually put the camera in, it couldn’t possibly fit, isn’t it just a bit of fiberoptic cable?
 
I have had a rectal examination just before i had my appendix out.....

One young female doctor, me on my side, she put gloves on, covered her fingers in KY and popped em in....

And for future reference never except your wife/girlfriend/one night stand say it hurts when you are going for your brown wings.....

It doesn't......

Ive had one of cameras up the willie about 6 yrs ago. I was all prepared for it and wasn't nervous. I was wheeled down to the theatre by two blokes who took me into this 10 x 10ft room, I thought great this will do me until they then pushed me through the big rubber doors that I hadn't noticed into the big room... There was at least three female nurses a few students and the doctors themselves, yikes :eek: :eek:

The male nurse then recognised me from the gym we both apparently go to and then introduced me to the three female nurses who also went to the same gym, was I embarrassed!!!! One of them then said 'just going to take your knickers off, lift your bum up' woooooooo and then told me she was going to put some anaesthetic cream onto the end of little willie and proceeded to disappear between my legs............ lots of self discipline needed I can tell you............................

Oh and the camera didn't hurt too much thanks to the kind nurse with the kindly fingers

colonoscopy is pretty harmless your so sedated you cant remember a thing. :)

I wasn't sedated. The potion to ensure your bowel is clear is extremely effective though.

I found the most uncomfortable part (very) to be when they pumped in the air to expand things in order to see more clearly. I have never broken wind like that (after removal) before or since.

so your saying your index finger and penis are comparable in size then :p
 
I've got to get one as soon as my appointment comes through. I keep being sick for no reason.
Whenever I eat something and feel like I'm getting full, I stop. But it feels like I kept on eating and I'm getting fuller and then have to be sick. It's not good when I only weigh 50Kg, people who don't know me are starting to think I have an eating disorder. :p

I even threw up my valentines day meal which cost me £60, was gourmet style too.

Reading this thread does make me nervous about the endoscopy. Can you breath through your mouth when it's going on or is your trachea blocked off because of the camera?

The 2 bottom ones were performed with no sedation and were so unpleasant the nurse had to hold my hand and the sweat was pouring from me (at least I know I'm not gay :p ).

The worst part was when the doctor calmly announced that the first 15 inches of my back passage was fine :eek:

FIFTEEN BLOODY INCHES - THAT'S HALF WAY TO MY HEART :(

Why have two if the first was fine? :) Seriously though, I've had it once and had EXACTLY the same experience!! Strangest thing was seeing it all on the tv screen in front of me :eek:
 
Mrs has had 2, she hated it but then I reminded her at least she didnt have the doctors finger up her bum, thats not nice.

I disagree =/
 
I had an endoscopy as part of the diagnosis to find out why I had had AWFUL heartburn since I was 18. I wa son daily medication.

I was sedated (he used two massive syringes) and you are pretty much out of it. I remember slobbering a bit as it came out but as you are dazed it is not uncomfortable at all.
