A member asked:
I am having an upper gi endoscopy in 10 hrs. can i have a cup of coffee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Generally, most endoscopists prefer the stomach to be empty at least 2 hours prior to conscious sedation for endoscopy. Nothing by mouth after midnight the night before a 0730 procedure, is routine as well, especially for any general anesthesia procedure.
