I need some input on this subject. Wifey had an upper GI last Thu and her results came in this Mon morn. The Doc's impression is that she may have moderate to severe escophageal reflux. No esophagitis or hiatal hernia TG! However,they want her to go for an endoscopy to check and find out if there was any damage done to the esophagus. This of course has wifey all bent out of shape. She called me on my cell phone from work this morn and is scared off her witts to get knocked out and have that tube go down her throat ...aarrgghhh! I'm sure some of you have been through this proceedure before. If any of you would be so kind enough to share your past experiences from this,I will be very grateful. I assume that they DO knock you out completely and perhaps there maybe a little discomfort afterwards. My mom's live-in companion had it done a year or 2 ago and has said that he didn't have any problems with it. I,so far haven't had to undergo such a proceedure,but who knows what lurks ahead. Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
