Can I have a ‘heavy’ sedation and then 5 days later have an anaesthetic? Digestive disease consultant wants an urgent endoscopic done. But only available is 5 days before my hysterectomy appointment!

GERD or not GERD that is the question?
Well five weeks on from shoulder joint replacement op on Christmas Day (!), following fall on 19th December I am starting to slowly see some small improvement. Bowels problems eliminated since stopping copious continued pain meds. What is still troubling me is my stomach. On my second day in hospital
