How to prepare
- Fasting: Typically, no food or drink (including water) for 6-8 hours before an endoscopy.
- Medication Review: Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, etc.), which may need to be temporarily adjusted.
- Arrange Transportation: Sedation is often used, so a companion must drive you home after the procedure.
- Medical History: Be prepared to discuss symptoms, diet, alcohol use, and any NSAID (painkiller) intake in detail.
- Consent: You will sign a consent form after discussing the procedure's benefits and risks with your gastroenterologist.
Risks & possible complications
- Reaction to sedation, such as respiratory issues or allergic reaction (rare).
- Sore throat or hoarseness from the endoscope.
- Minor bleeding at biopsy sites, which usually stops on its own.
- Perforation (a tear in the stomach or esophageal wall) – an extremely rare but serious complication.
- Infection risk, though very low due to sterile equipment.
- Incomplete diagnosis if inflammation is patchy and not sampled.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Procedure: Rest in recovery until sedation wears off (1-2 hours). You may feel bloated from air introduced during the endoscopy.
- Diet: Start with clear liquids and gradually resume a normal diet as tolerated, often the same day.
- Activity: Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for 24 hours post-sedation. Normal activities can usually resume the next day.
- Symptom Management: Follow the prescribed treatment plan (medications, diet changes) as directed by your gastroenterologist.
- Follow-up: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to discuss biopsy results and adjust treatment if necessary.
-
Typical hospital stay:
0 days (outpatient) or 1 day if complications arise

I'd been to three other doctors...
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
