Endoscopy

Don't tell DH Anno he might feel he was missing out!! Yes, so far (!) he has been spared that one(but had the others many times).

Air is pumped in for flexible sigmoidoscopy; not for gastroscopy. Alea, your catalogue missed out laryngoscopy which I found fascinating because I could see my vocal chords on the screen and the doctor gave me a commentary on them!

I had an endoscopy about a month ago petra and although the procedure itself is horrible (sorry if anyone is about to have one) , I felt okay afterwards although I do remember having a kind of an empty feeling in my tummy for a few days.

Gastroscopy, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, bronchoscopy, trans oesophageal echocardiogram (endoscopic) - DH has been there, done that and didn't particularly like any of them
Actually with proper sedation, the c scope is probably the least worst!

I was quoting Google

Endoscopy means examination by endoscope which can be either. I assumed colonoscopy because of air being pumped in, I have had two gastroscopies and never had air pumped in.

No...not that 'end'.

Then it was the up the bottom one?

Thanks for your concern, girls lol. All blown out now, thank god.

Perhaps the action of the tube going down the oesophagus causes air displacement and subsequent 'burping'?

Isn't there a northern phrase about not knowing your ........from your ......?

in mitigation, it seems harrigran and * charleygirl* shared my !

Oops sorry, my fault for misreading! As colonoscopies, gastroscopies, and all other oscopies happen under the aegis of Endoscopy, I had jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Don't know why an endoscopy would cause wind though

OP refers to an endoscopy not a colonoscopy difference being the first goes down the throat and the other goes up the rectum.
So I would assume different effects from each

To "clean you out" (TMI) depending on the time of the procedure, no solid food from 24 hours beforehand, clear liquids and water and then 2 doses of "Moviprep" or similar , one in the evening and one at crack of dawn during which time you really don't want to be more than 10 steps from a loo!

(The one time DH "cheated " because of a late lunch, they coudn't get a clear "picture".)

Do you normally have that before an endoscopy? I don't remember DH having anything before his...

I wonder if the prep (Moviprep or whichever you had) might be responsible for your insides being all over the place??
DH has an annual Cscope and is generally no windier than usual fine the next day.

I agree, that is too long. Like harrigran after I had my colonoscopy I was fine the next day.

Seems a little unusual to last this long. I had a colonoscopy yesterday and mine has dispersed already.
