Having this soon. Please contact if you have had it. Scared stiff. Have nobody to go with me and if I have the sedation I would be returning to an empty house with nobody able to come over, is that ok?

Yes I have also had Endoscopy with sedation and as Lynda160659 said if you have sedation you must have someone accompany you (it says in the leaflet anyway)
I found the whole process absolutely fine, yes i was terrified before having it done and read horror stories about others having it done (which i wish i never done now!) however the doctor and nurses were so extremely friendly instantly put me at ease and the whole process was over in about 10 minutes (which felt like a minute!)
Good luck and try not to worry (i know it is easier said than done!)

Can you tell me why you are having an endoscopy, what symptoms etc?

Had lots of problems with sinus and after years of that and taking antib iotics and steroids about a year ago started to get bad headaches all the time and stomach. They saw no connection and put me on proton pump inhibitors saying I had an ulcer. Afer a bit it was a lot better. About three months ago felt very well on cimetridine which also got rid of the headaches.
But the headches would keep coming and going and they never looked into that. Then the sinus was bad again and ears got blocked and more antib otics and steroids. Then took a high dose of probiotics and wham the following morning stomach was terrible and started to keep burping and having nausea. Gave it a few days to let it pass but a week later still the same. Am not taking anything now as the cimetridine no longer works.

Had a previous endoscopy 3 years ago roughly for persistant nausea but nothing like what im getting now
That came up clear, just a weak sphincter, I have a long history of reflux,
Im trying to get into my head wether its just a nervous stomach creating all the agro but its persistant everytime I eat
