Very good experience! I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done at the same time. I hadnt ever had either and was petrified. I also do not come out of anesthesia well. During the endoscopy, I ended up needing my throat stretched, I was having trouble swallowing. The exams uncovered strictures in my throat, which were cut, an ulcer, and even a hernia in my upper GI. 3 biopsies were taken, all came back ok. Everyone in this clinic from the receptionist to the nurses to the anaesthetist to the doctor who performed the exams was kind and professional. The procedures themselves were way way less intimidating than what I expected, no pain at all, I had zero trouble with anethesia, and recovery was very quick. I had a very mild sore throat after endoscopy, less pain in it than when you have a cold. I had zero, zero pain or discomfort after colonoscopy. If you need to have these exams done, don't hesitate to use Carolina Digestive Disease and Palmetto Endoscopy Suite. The staff is top notch, and I am thankful I don't need to do this again for ten years ;). ....here is an update after scopes and what the doc prescribed. After a few weeks of meds for ulcer and throat, I can swallow waaay better, I have lost some weight and am feeling well enough to exercise. I feel 1000% better. Get your scopes done! 🙂
