Endoscopy is a routine office procedure for most people. You should be able to go home after awaking from sedation, and resume most normal activities. You cannot drive or operate machinery after sedation/that day. Kim Tranquada MD, FACEP, FAAEM CEO and Founder Healthcare Alliance for an Equitable World https://haew.org Dr.T@haew.org (520)260-0045
