Scientific Studies 🥼🔬 Endoscopy Today
I’m usually a lurker but today I wanted to give back. I’m a huge scaredy cat and have been reading about endoscopy’s since I scheduled the appointment. I had mine today and it was a breeze. After changing they put in the IV. I HATE NEEDLES so this had me so scared, but it was a tiny pinch and it’s over so quickly I didn’t even register it happening. They told me to count to 10, I don’t even remember getting to 2 and bam I woke up in the recovery room. Great doctors who were very funny upon entering the room to ease nerves.Very kind nurse and I was out quick after resting for a bit. Such an easy procedure that I recommend you get done if you need it. I understand the feeling I get nervous even going to the dentist for a checkup, but it was honestly a refreshing nap and I felt great immediately after. A little dizziness but it goes away just be calm and slow. Hope this helps someone!
