oh my i am so sorry - how did it hurt do you mean after like they scraped your throat or were you awake and felt things? i had several scopes and once did get a sore throat from scrapping i am guessing..

how many scopes have you had now? and are they doing the stretch all the same day?

For me i had surgery 10/18/05 healed really quickly because i went in on 11/6 and they said it was closed so tight they had to probe it - they dilatated me from 0 to 10 (9 balloons) then i stayed in the hospital and did nothing on 11/8 but on 11/9 they dilated to 13 then i went home...on 11/16 i went from 10 to 16 as an out patient but had to return 10/4/05 they did the die test and then had to give me potassium and get things under control before they took me in for the scopes...on 12/6/05 dilatated from 10 to 14 on 12/7/05 dilatated from 13 to 16 on 12/8/05 dilatated from 14 to 18 than on 12/9/05 i went home... i have not had a problem since they did the dilatations in December so i think the series is what made it work for me....i hope you dont need another but dont throw up a lot before you go in because potassium hurts thru an IV!
