As you are sedated to relax your smooth muscles during endoscopy you will need someone to accompany you. It is best done empty stomach and in the morning. Avoid taking heavy dinner before going for it next day. Consult with your queries for better resolution.

It is done on an empty stomach. It is done under sedation. It will take 30-45 minutes. You should go for the procedure with someone because you will not be able to travel back to your home alone.
