How do I prepare for a Endoscopy exam – (stomach scope test)?
You need three things to prepare for a endoscopy examination: * An appointment for the examination. * An empty stomach. You must be fasting for 6 hours prior. No food or drink. * A driver to take you home since you will not be able to drive until the following morning. We ask that your driver come with you and plan to stay the entire time you are here. This time averages about 2 hours which is about 1 to 2 hours less than the average length of stay at the hospital outpatient surgery department.
