December 2018 – Another gastroscopy and biopsy

After things had not got any better I went back to my specialist and he recommended another gastroscopy and a throat stretching..

Throat stretching !!!  Hmm.. Apparently because my throat had a lot of pressure the specialist thought it would be a good idea. This time I thought I would have the sedation.

 

I had to fast and not drink again before I went in.. I arrived rather nervous but had my wife with me..

I went into the room and they explained that they would be sedating me with something in my wrist and the procedure. They would pass the tube down my throat for another look.. Take another biopsy then they would inflate a balloon in my throat that would stretch my throat and release the pressure.

 

I do not remember too much about the procedure. I felt the prick on my wrist where they put the seditive in and I was talking to the specialist and I remember the mouth guard. I also remember having a stretching sensation in my throat but not much else.

I was taken on a special chair on wheels afterward and helped into a nice lazy boy to recover..

It was definitely the easiest procedure I had but I did not really detect much difference to my throat afterwards. The Biopsy did not show anything either so it was all a bit of a waste of time actually.
