Remember: You must have a responsible adult bring you 18 years or older, stay and drive you home the day of the procedure. Your driver must be present at the time of check-in for your procedure. You will not be allowed to travel home alone in a taxi or by bus. If you arrive without a responsible party, we will have to reschedule your procedure.
Please leave all valuables and jewelry at home.
Upon your arrival to the Endoscopy Unit
After you have completed your registration, you will be called back to the pre-operative area and prepared for your procedure. You may bring one visitor back with you when the pre-op area is ready for them.
You will be with us for approximately 2-4 hours. (The exam itself lasts approximately 30-45 minutes.) When your procedure is completed, you will be taken to a room where you will rest until your sedative has worn off. Once you are alert, your physician will speak with you.
