Hello doctor! I had a normal gastroscopy once 3 years ago, the feeling of vomiting and discomfort makes me very haunted when I think about it. Now I want to have a gastric bypass but am afraid of that feeling. So can the doctor advise me how to safely do a gastroscopy without vomiting, discomfort or not? Thanks for the advice and answers.

Hello! Currently, gastroscopy can be performed: normal endoscopy and endoscopic anesthesia. During a regular endoscopy, the doctor will spray anesthetic into the throat and then insert the scope with the patient's coordination into the upper digestive tract. As a result, the patient will experience discomfort, irritation and coughing.
However, with anaesthesia gastroscopy, the patient will be anesthetized first, then the endoscopist will conduct routine endoscopy. This method helps the patient to be pain-free, non-stimulating, and not coughing. Currently, anesthetic drugs are fast acting, quick to wake up, and safe. Therefore, you can register for endoscopic anesthesia to reduce discomfort and obsession like before. You can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to perform gastroscopy under anesthesia with the performance of qualified, experienced doctors and a system with modern facilities.
