Having an endoscopy tomorrow. Is it advisable to have the sedation??
Absolutely have the sedation. Good luck with the procedure.My mum said she didn’t bother for her procedure as she didn’t have anyone to pick her up afterwards and it wasn’t that bad, but I don’t think I can have a camera down my throat without maximum assistance
Most definitely so. I have had two, first one didn’t have the sedation and the most awful experience, the second time I made sure I had the sedation even though the doctor was doing his best to put me off, I was standing my ground. My brother, when he had an endoscopy he opted not to have sedation and he found it ok. I was in terrible pain at the time of my first endoscopy, with gastritis so was in no mood to be poked around so should have had the sedation then perhaps my encounter wouldn’t have been so bad.Having an endoscopy tomorrow.

How on earth have I not seen this thread all this time!
Good luck to you.
How long did you have to wait? It is now just over a year since I've been put on a waiting list for an endoscopy.

I'm under the Royal Liverpool a Dr Smart. They have completely got rid of my Esophagus cancer, and very nearly all my Barrets with the trial treatment of Radio Frequency Ablation".Thanks had Barrett’s for a few years now so I am on watchful waiting but it’s all ways at the back of my mind .
If your Barrets is stable and you've stopped the reflux then with monitoring you should be ok.
I fell through the cracks as my specialist retired and I wasn't listed with anyone else. So I went from every 2 years of monitoring to about 5 years when a throw away mention to my GP as I was leaving the surgery, that I'd not been seen for ages.
The next examination showed my Barrets was now full blown cancer but in the embryonic state.
I'm so lucky to be here and I count my blessings every day.
Glad you are in a good place with your Barrets:-)
