I had done with endoscopy today without sedation ...guys don't get scare it is 2-5 min procedure and I didn't gag a bit as well.. doctor will tell you the instructions when to breathe air through mouth...even I too scared before the test but trust me it is super cool..this is my second test where as first time with sedation in Canada.. I would prefer without sedation to anyone...hope everything will be alright guys..

I did yesterday. It's not painful just you will feel little bit nausea. Better than blood test.

I have done this twice, and the first time before the procedure, I vomited blood.
One of the worst procedures in India

Here’s a summary for you all

not painful at all only few discomfort, I would recommend drinking some sip of water 20 to 30 mins before endoscopy

You will only gag at the starting for like 10 to 15 second max, use your nose to breathe only nose rest is easy. Good luck
