Alternatively, you can opt for no anesthesia/sedative, if like me your major concern is lingering after effects (and a fear of going under). I had a colonoscopy and an EGD in the same visit, really wasn’t a big deal. Also quite fun to see your insides on the monitor — gave me peace of mind to see perfectly uniform pink healthy flesh, as opposed to some of the craziness you can find on YouTube.
