Billie Cook. Greeting from So. Calif. I've been the subject of two endoscopies and am being set up for the third. Both of the previous procedures were a piece of cake. I was given a mild sedative and the scope tube was well lubricated and went down without a problem.. During the last procedure I listened to what the doctor told a student who was also looking inside me. It was not bad at all. (Not that I would want to do it every day.) When it's over I felt real relaxed. Good Luck God be with you. Arthur L. "Al" TRADER MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!
