I wasn't offered sedation just given a quick spray and then had the camera rammed down my throat. Turns out they had a bit of a backlog and dint have time to faff about waiting for me to fall asleep/come round.
Was awful - was gagging and heaving as they took it out - and letting out the most enormous belches too. Was told later that the guy who did it is known for being rather heavy handed.
That was last year and even now if my toothbrush goes near the back of my throat I heave.

Definitely one of my favourite chat-up lines.
I would definitely prefer heavy-duty sedation for this procedure, ideally either vast amounts of novocaine, or watching the 'Stoke City - 100 Enthralling Goalless Draws' dvd until I fell into a coma.

I find it odd that you are given a choice, when i had my Endoscopy and Colonoscopy here, i was given a general anaesthetic.
When i went back 12 months later for another Colonoscopy, same again, a general anaesthetic.

I'm glad to see i'm not the only one who has suffered this abomination of a procedure :-)
Next time (If there's one) i am going to ask for every sedative they have...and yes i was stupid to go for the non sedative route.
Mouth open with a plastic funnel to feed this HUGE pipe down and then swallowing it. I could feel the pipe going down and hitting rock bottom.
My results were good and my stomach is ticketty boo so that's a bonus.
I've had the up the jacksie one and was sedated for that and don't remember a thing and suffered no after effects apart from a little gentle weepage (TMI I know).

That's Oz blokes for you mate - bunch of limp dick mard arses.
They need a general anaesthetic to watch the Ashes nowadays.

After stupidly mentioning I had to have a camera up my snout down into my lungs to mates I was mercilessly told how much pain I'd be in and how it can all go tits up. By the time I got to the hospital I'd have took anything. Turns it wasn't that bad and I found it fascinating watching the screen seeing the inside of my own body. All on our brilliant NHS.
I hated it mate, even the anesthetic down before the camera. At least found out what was up and now on 7 tablets a day so worth the discomfort
I think with all the deliberate misinformation I was given by piss taking old blokes plus going on the internet for medical advice I could hardly sleep the night before. Bricking it pal. Had the sedative and can't really remember much else other than the telly. No bother compared to having a swab were the doc puts a cotton bud looking thing down your japs eye. That made me cry.
You want to try having a camera down the old japs eye then.Ouch, it fooking hurt at first but then became more uncomfortable than anything else.But the first two pisses after, AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh.
A nurse stood behind me and said " hold my hand" I thought "what the fuck ..." The doc said "cough as loud as you can"
So I did.The next words I remember shouting were "BASTARD !!!!!" I then apologised for my outburst and the nurse having now let go off my hand (I honestly thought I`d broken her fingers) said "its OK love,we`ve heard worse than that !!"

Whatever they give me I would have robbed the bastard place where it was stored to get me through the Pearce era. Wow imagine not remembering that shite.
