Re: Endoscopy & Acid Reflux       02/03/06 11:29 AM Edit Reply Quote Jennifer Rose Reged: 04/02/03 Posts: 3566 Loc: Fremont, CA Hey Stephie, Sorry to hear about the rough time you had at the doctors. If it makes you feel any better, I had the endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures done at the same time - and the endoscopy was a BREEZE! I too got what they referred to as 'sedated' (didn't feel like much sedation!) and pretty much cried in pain the whole time they did the colonoscopy. When they got to the endoscopy, I had calmed down and don't even remember much of it! I remember being worried more about the endoscopy since I had already had a sigmoidoscopy. As for the reflux, the drugs do work. I take OTC Prilosec for mine, which thankfully works because I don't have any health insurance for prescriptions. My school doctor actually told me to try it because she knew I didn't have any coverage. Maybe you can work with your doctor to help you find a cheaper drug? Good luck and hope this helps a little bit! -------------------- - Jennifer Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
