I'm having one done Wednesday and am pretty nervous.

I know I'll be sedated so I'm not worried about the procedure itself, but wonder what the results will be.

If you've had one, what did it find? And was it something that was able to be helped? 1|1|~See Inside~|mugsmom|read2learn@netzero.net|07:57:47|11/15/2010|

I 've had a couple and the procedure is nothing. Mine just showed an ulcer which was unexpected as they were checking to see why I still had "gallbladder pain" with no gallbladder. My mom's showed a hiatal hernia and acid reflux. I don't know what your symptoms are but try not to worry. It gives them a closer view than an xray and they can get a sample of any tissue while they are doing the procedure. They may send samples out to check for certain bacteria(they did for the ulcer) so don't be surprised if they mention doing that.Good luck. Sending good thoughts your way. 2|1|thanks for the input....|KellyJef|burke3536@yahoo.com|08:34:12|11/15/2010|
