I had endoscopy procedure yesterday after suffering bad reflux they found 2 ulcers in my osophagus, in a little pain this morning sore throat and discomfort when food and drink goes into stomach, there were biopsies taken I can only assume this is the reason.

I had the spray I gagged a few times during the procedure as bit uncomfortable I have to go back in 6 wks to repeat the procedure so the surgeon can see if the healing is working .

I was told to up the dose of lansoprosol for 8 wk for healing purposes, I think I will be calmer next time I have the procedure
