Hi All, just wanted to let you know I have a date for what is my 1st test on my stomach. I'm going in on the 24th October 2011 for a Gastroscopy which is a cmaera down your throat and into your stomach and small bowel. I will be sedated thank goodness! I wanted to ask if anyone can do pocket duties for this date I will be very grateful. To say I'm very nervous is an understatement, I'm not looking forward to it but it has to be done. Lets hope they find whatever is causing these tummy problems :( .Amanda/bubbadog

    Hi Amanda..

    I know a few people have had this done and had no problems other than a bit of a sore throat after..
    Will be with you for pocket duties.. maybe they can sedate me at the same time.. :lol:
    Be thinking of you and i hope they can find the route of your troubles

    I am sure you will be fine, the sedation will take care of any worries or cares and before you know it it will all be over. The very best of luck, I'll do my best to be there but I may not be around too much over the next couple of weeks. DD

    I'm sure it'll be OK. I've had this twice. The first, years ago, they knocked me out, offered me a cuppa, I suggested they should do the procedure first & they said they'd done it!

    By the 2nd one, about 2 years ago, they said they preferred you awake but would knock me out if I wanted. I didn't mind so they didn't & it was fine. They spray your throat with a local. You don't feel anything.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Hi Amanda,
    I hope it goes well and is not as scary as you thought. I will be in your pocket on the day and fingers crossed that the results come through quickly for you.

    Yikes, do you think they might find that lost button and asorted toffee papers!!!! :shock:
