Endoscopy

[Chelle_]

So my endoscopy this morning showered, several small bleeds but nothing they can band....so to that end I am back in 6 months assuming no complications....

Honestly....worst endoscopy I've had in a long time.....I am ready to get off the merry-go-round now...

Hi chelle , I really don't know how you do it , so so many endoscopies been done . well good news that there is nothing major to report and fingers crossed no more for 6 .months 🤞. my worst one was at queen Elizabeth hospital in June .. to this day I can still feel that so called black camera at the back of my throat 🤢. sedation did not work .worst 15 mins ever !! . hope you are keeping well though . linda x

Hi Linda. I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I went under GA for one a few years back and that wasn’t nice. My liver doesn’t like Anesthetisic. Sedation isn’t too bad. I don’t go near the spray though.....bananas my butt!! I should be used to them now....🙄

[Millie09 in reply to Chelle_]

hi chelle , oh it was awful ! yet the sedation worked previously on my other two . I didn't have the throat spray as I don't think I would like the feeling after . fingers crossed I won't need another one for a while 🤞

You are made of tough stuff Chelle. Keep your chin up and rant on here when needed. Were all behind you 100% xx

You're amazing as I blankly have refused many as they are a negative trigger for me but did succumb to one in January and hated every minute of it.. I can't imagine having to have regular ones.. xx

[Chelle_ in reply to Miche49uk]

I have that much bleeding in my stomach that I don’t think I could refuse. I do have to admit after about a week I do feel a bit better. Not so much blood on my tummy.....

Glad that it was a good result this time. Hopefully it will be your last as your transplant will happen in the meantime

Bless you hun, endoscopes are no fun at all! Glad it went well xxx

There certainly not!!

Yes, it does taste like bananas....... Rotten bananas.

I had to have an ERCP recently to fit a billiary stent. Much like the normal Endoscopy but can last between one and two hours, I was lucky (?), mine just lasted the one hour. They enjoyed doing it so much, they want me back in 3 months to do it all again.

What fun. 😷😧

[Chelle_ in reply to GoldArrow]

Honestly I think they do it for fun. My next one is in 6 months but hoping my transplant is done by then x
