My Endoscopy Report

Posted by Varun | Labels: | Posted On Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 5:20 AM

I am done with my endoscopy today with not so good experience! Never thought that it would be so discomfort! All i had a glass of rose milkshake in the morning till the endoscopy as i was advised to have a empty stomach!
The endoscopy was not painful but that irration with vomiting sensation took my life out of me for those 2 minutes! I was asked to lie down on the stretcher sideways. The attender than asked to swallow a teaspoon of some liquid ( I feel it was some pungent smelling junk acid, probably Trichloride Benzene Aldehyde ) which made my mouth Devoid of any sensation!
Then a small funnel type device with holes on both the ends was put in my mouth and one of the attender holding my mouth!

Now the moment of truth comes! The doctor introduces a long black colour tube from that funnel in my mouth. For first few seconds, I was normal. The moment it touches my throat, the vomiting sensation started! That doctor calmed me down a bit, but still he is continuting to insert the tube in my mouth. I was like damn, when the hell the tube will get over. I could feel in my chest that something is there inside!

1 and half minutes gone, and i started puking! :( It was only mild vomit. ( the attender was surprise to see my vomit in rose pink colour. Looks like he has never seen such a think before:) )
Finally, the doctor started removing the tube and when it was fully removed, i took a sigh of relief. I wonder that even this small non surgical procedure took me for a ride, What will be my reaction for other pain taking long surgical medication like Bypass surgery, Transplant surgery etc.

Finally after waiting for half an hour, I got my report! and Here it is in exact biological terms

Currently I am on medication for a week with strict dietary control measures! This includes no ghee, no butter, no cheese, no spice, no fried, no citrus fruits. Oh God, then Y i am leaving. I love butter and cheese and cant think to avoid them!

Tough time ahead! Now i have got two people to patrol my eating habits so i guess it's better to surrender and follow the instructions :)

By the way today my wife has left to her place for two weeks. Thinking of having one chilly cheese toast and Vegetable Sandwich! :-)

And Yeah friends, Thanks again for your concern!
