A member asked:
Can you go home after you have the medicine and endoscopy test are done? how many hours does it take and is it a surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Need a driver...: Upper endoscopy, or egd is a quick test lasting 5 - 10 minutes. Patients undergoing endoscopy are sedated with medication that prevents them from driving a car afterwards. Arrange for someone to take you home. Good luck!
