Can I be put to sleep for an endoscopy?
Most endoscopies are done under what is called conscious sedation. This means you are not completely asleep and are breathing on your own, but are generally not aware of what is happening. In certain circumstances, an endoscopy can be done under general anesthesia, but this is not the norm. READ MORE

How long is recovery from gallbladder removal?
It depends on the type of procedure done to remove the gallbladder, open vs laparoscopic, your overall health, and how physical your normal daily activity is. A good rule of thumb is 2-4 weeks to return to normal activity, longer if you have a physical job, up to 6-8 weeks. Recovery times are quicker with laparoscopic procedures and longer with more traditional open surgery. Any complications can impact recovery time as well. READ MORE
