    I never had them put a scope down my throat to check my insides.. they ran a
    upper GI to do that… now they stuck a tube up my nose and down the back of my
    throat while i had surgery, but of course i was out … But i guess every dr is
    different…

    also, my mother had a scope put down her throat before to check things out..
    (just a test, not for gastricbypass or anything) and she said they numbed the
    back of her throat real good, but she was awake during the procedure… i think
    if you have a problem with it, you might be able to ask them if they can give ya
    something to calm ya or something.. i just dont know.. the only thing you can do
    is ask.. but i am sure someone else on this list might know though… good luck
    though..

    When I had the EGD or Endoscopy, I was given a pill to relax me a bit, and as
    was previously stated by someone else they numbed my throat, but I was wide
    awake for this test. I am gager but I was able to do this. It is just a
    little akward for a few minutes and then it was all over.
