Intussusception Diagnosis

For a scope, they'll usually give you "twilight sedation." If you've ever had laughing gas at the dentist, it feels similar, but a bit more potent. You feel calm and floaty, and after the procedure you don't remember a thing about what they did.
I thought I would be going into my scope fully-conscious, so knowing I'd be knocked out was really comforting!

I only remember my one scope because I was throwing up my toenails after from the medications they gave me. M y advise.
...Tell them you are allergic to Pain. Tell them you do not want to hurt or throw up afterwards...
You did not say what other problems you are having? are you able to eat your prescribed diet? complications? is that why the scope? If so maybe the Doc can diagnose and fix your issue to get you back to where you want and need to be. Hang in there...

hi I had surgery run in 2002 starting gaining back four years ago.Now they have ordered me to have scope done and I'm scared.Does it hurt?
I just had a scope (EGD) yesterday due to an upper GI showing aspiration. It did not hurt at all. They did conscious sedation but I don't remember a darn thing if that helps. If it has been ordered you are likely seeking answers and you will get answers. Good luck!
