I also have had tubes up the rear end without sedation and was fine but I personally could not tolerate a gastroscopy without sedation. I would think twice about it.

I have had several oscopies up the rear end with no sedation and no problems; and a gastroscopy with sedation several years ago.

I have to have another on Thursday, but am looking after my GS all day on the Friday. I am quite keen to have the gastroscopy without sedation to avoid the "hangover" - has anyone done this? How did it go?
