Minutes before the endoscopy begins, the doctor will ask you a few brief questions. You will be administered oxygen, and your oxigen and heart rate levels will be measured at all times.
Throughout the study you will be always monitored by the physician and by our assistants.
At the end of the procedure, our staff will take you to your recovery room where you will remain resting until you feel fully recovered from the sedation. While you recover we will monitor you at all times.
By the time you leave, our receptionists will give you your endoscopic report and will let you know if the doctor considered it necessary to take biopsies.

This will pass as time elapses, only in a few cases is taking some pain reliever required to lessen such discomfort. Unless you are indicated otherwise, you will be able to eat a soft diet for 1 hour after completion of the procedure. If you received sedatives, you will not be allowed to drive after the procedure even though you do not feel tired.
