just visited my doctor and he said I need to have one as I have been having stomach issues and nothing has been helping. Anyone ever one of these? I don't want to have one at such a young age as I heard it will affect me negatively in the long run.

You'll be fine although there is 3% chance that you will choke and die.

All the best.

wait what? 3% thats actually pretty high.

[onemoregoal]

How can it affect you in the future?
Im pretty sure its a harmless procedure if its for stomach.

[TheGoldenGoose]

Had my first one done this year.

Piece of cake.

Don't know why your getting this "future problems" spiel.

met someone a couple years back that had multiple endoscopies within a couple years and it caused further problems

[TheRifleman]

I know 2 people who choked and died during the procedure. Extremely dangerous.

[TheGoldenGoose]

Any time you go under anesthesia in any operation there is a risk. You'll get the same gas as Michael Jackson. First class all the way. Enjoy the ride. I woke up from that shiit feeling like a million dollars. Like I said, it was a piece of cake.

good thing about the rifle is you can count on his info as being wrong almost always. Chance of dying from an endoscopic procedure is very rare.

However, just recently in fact not even a week ago a report was made that claimed 15% of the time the instruments are not sterilized properly during this test and the colonoscopy. Story went on to say that some people are becoming ill with serious problems however I would guess this would be much more serious with the colonoscopy procedure. To think that at this time in our history hospitals are not sterilizing equipment properly is beyond unbelievable. I can understand 1% maybe but 15% wow that is incredible.

I think you can relax you will not die but I would mention in a kidding sort of way...I hope you guys sterilized those instruments properly.

I remember you said you once choked on some little boys' penis. Was that before or after you had your endoscopy?

How long have you been in prison for child molestations?

You know when a person is constantly talking about molesting children that gives many people reason to wonder rifle. Would it surprise anyone to find out that YOU are the pedophile. That would not surprise me or probably anybody on this forum, after all you are the guy that has not a problem killing a billion people so not a far stretch to think you can violate children too. No rifle if anybody is a child molester that would certainly be you not me. And so many of you "christians" just love deviate sexual activities, aren't you the guy that is constantly talking about blow jobs? Yeah that is you. Strange christian you are rifle, killing people, giving blow jobs, condemning people to hell.

Oh BTW how about that bible quiz? lol, rifle you are out of your league with me a guy with just a tiny bit of intellect would quit but you certainly don't fit that bill.

didn't have it back in the summer, and I'm finally gonna have it this time around. Just scheduled my appointment for the end of January to have it. Supposedly it only takes 20 minutes.

[chipper]

I haven't but a good friend just did. He claims it was a piece of cake and no big deal. Good luck and I hope they get to the bottom of your issues and you are feeling better soon!

[Cuse0323]

No worries, it's quick and easy. Only problem for me was I guess I told my life story to the whole crew when I was knocked out.

[Big Bear]

yeah i had one. No big deal. Basically you just cant eat for 12 hours prior
and you go in and they give you an IV and the next thing you know its over.

Painless procedure. Ya might feel a little sore for 24 hours maybe upset stomach but the next
day your back to 100% normal.

i'd much rather have a endoscopy than a colonoscopy.
(never had one of those)


i wouldn't worry about it.

[TheGoldenGoose]

No big deal. Easy procedure and you will love the nurses. GL.
