Hello friends,

Happy New Year!

I wanted to ask what the best procedure (or if there are any recommendations) for having an endoscopy with a TBI/neck injury. I have been avoiding medicines during this journey because many have begun to negatively affect me after the injury. I figure there are safer ways to go about an endoscopy, such as different types of sedation or anesthetics?

My GERD has remained out of control and I am going to see my gastro soon. I figure she will want me to have an endoscopy next, especially because of how long I have been suffering.

I am happy to have an awake procedure too, especially if that lessens/eliminates risk with head/neck stuff.

Thank you!
