UPPER ENDOSCOPY PATIENTS
Endoscopy involves the use of a narrow, flexible tube (a gastroscope) to examine the upper intestinal tract.  You must have nothing to eat or drink for SIX HOURS before the procedure.  If your booking is in the afternoon you may have a light breakfast of toast and tea.
If you take any medication for your heart or blood pressure, it is important you take these as usual with a sip of water as early as possible before the procedure.  If you are a diabetic or on blood thinning medication please inform the receptionist when making your booking.
You will be given a light anaesthetic to make you relaxed and comfortable.  Once this has taken effect the doctor will pass the gastroscope via the mouth to examine, and if necessary take biopsies from the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum.
Endoscopy is not painful and you may have no memory of it afterwards.  The procedure takes 5 to 15 minutes to perform and you will be sleepy for about another half an hour.
REMEMBER   – FAST FOR SIX HOURS
– DO NOT RETURN TO WORK. ARRANGE A DRIVER
– HAVE SOMEONE WITH YOU FOR 12 HOURS AFTER PROCEDURE
