I am scheduled for an endoscopy on Friday with a small bowel biopsy. My question is this, how do you feel the next day? I noticed one post that mentioned that they had a stomach ache and D the next day. I can't afford to not feel well that day, as I have a big weekend planned so I am thinking of rescheduling. What was your experience?

I had a slight sore throat the next day with no other problems (other than my usual IBS).

I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy on Wednesday and had a houseful of people the next day which was Thanksgiving! I was so worried, but lucky for me I had no problems whatsoever. I noticed a very slight soreness in my throat but nothing to complain about. I hope it goes very well for you too!! Good luck

I had endoscopy/colonoscopy a week ago. I had a sore throat the next day and my voice was weak for two days afterwards, but nothing that wasn't bearable. I don't remember a thing of the procedure. I'm glad I had the endo and not just the colonoscopy, because the endo showed some esophagus damage from acid reflux and now I'm being treated for that in addition to IBS.

Same thing here, just a sore throat for a few days. Good luck on your decision, and whenever you do have the test I hope it goes well.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Everything went well and the only side effect was feeling a little sick to my stomach later in the day and I felt like I had a lump in my throat for two days. Eveything is fine now.
