Experiences with

Endoscopy

Hi all, I said I would give update on Endoscopy with banding.

Hi I've got to have another endoscopy but in my letter it says with banding my consultant never explained this to me or told me I was having it done I'm really worried about it can anyone explain it to me or have they had it done and how did it feel during and after many thanks

What he did say was my platelets are low and I'm to have a endoscopy down my gullet has my veins could be either too thick or thin ( they won't know until they check) and they may have to be banded or I could bleed out?? Can anyone explain to me what this is??

Had CT scan and endoscopy. Told tumour hasn’t spread, and medics anre aiming for a “cure”. About to have PET scan and another assessment endoscopy before being recommended treatment. Cancer isn’t new to me…prostate cancer in remission after radiotherapy. I’d welcome any advice.

Dr wants to do endoscopy in 8 weeks time to see if infection has gone. Won't blood tests, and lack of pain tell him that? What are the benefits of an endoscopy?

I had an endoscopy which found 2 small varices. I have just had another endoscopy today a year later and I have been told I haven't got any varices and everything looks normal. I was under the impression that varices didn't go away.

I would like to thank you all for your advice and for sharing your experiences of having an endoscopy. I had this done on Tuesday and although a rather strange experience, the first one done! Reading and re-reading your experiences prior this helped me enormously. Thank you all so much x

At that time I had an endoscopy which also found patchy erythematous mucosa & mild gastritis / duodenitis and normal B12 levels on a blood test. On my follow up endoscopy last week it was reported as Generalised Atrophic Gastritis Mucosa.

As I’ve recently posted I’m awaiting biopsy results from an endoscopy which showed generalised atrophic gastritis. What is the general consensus on taking medication / supplements?

I was referred for an endoscopy and possible dilation. 4 weeks ago endoscopy preformed, not able to have dilation as to much food present from 24hrs before. Another one booked which I had yesterday.

Here is the results of my endoscopy and colonoscopy. I have no idea what they all mean. Endoscopy: Esophagus hiatal hernia hill grade 3 Stomach Erythema in antrum Duodenum normal to D2 Colonoscopy: Medium sized internal hemorrhoids Proctitis Mayo 2 Rest of colon endoscopically normal.

I had an endoscopy previously to confirm Celiac disease and I recall I had inflamed gastritis back then so it’s definitely progressed. My recent endoscopy said H Pylori negative.

He’s had an endoscopy and a ct scan with no visible problems showing up. The belching is bought on by exertion and is getting worse. Eating seems to help. We are at our wits end trying to find a solution as it’s definitely getting worse. Any one out there experienced this?

They discharged me & have been given an appt for endoscopy as outpatient.

After 10 days of anxiety I went to ENT who performed a nasal endoscopy. I wasn't expecting the scope to hurt (I'd had a nasal endoscopy a few years ago and hardly felt it) but I found it really painful. I froze and toughed it out, wish I had asked ENT to stop.

Endoscopy showed esophagitis and gastritis. Been on maximum meds 2 x 30mg Lanzoprazole 2 x 20mg Famotidine and Gaviscon Advanced 4 times a day.

Then today I get the results of my endoscopy. Helicobacter, they were looking for Wipples disease as they really aren't too sure what's actually wrong. Now they are suggesting two weeks of triple antibiotics. Anyone else had this??

Did endoscopy they found erosive gastritis and also esophageal candidiasis. Please, does it mean I’m hiv positive. I’m so scared. Pls anybody explain what my options are and what I should be expecting

I had an endoscopy in November reveals mild gastritis and duodenitus was told to take omeprazole twice a day. Fast forward to now been back to the doctor, reflux is horrendous burning throat feels like swallowed razor blades.

I attended docs few weeks ago & he has referred me for another endoscopy, but not urgent so could be waiting months & months for that!
