I’m scheduled to have an upper GI endoscopy tomorrow due to some stomach problems I’ve been having for the past year or so which include mainly indigestion, lots of gas, and at times sharp stomach pains. I’ve been noticing lately that the sharp pains I’ve been getting are more towards the right rib cage though, and am just wondering does this test reveal gallbladder problems? I’m an other wise healthy 20 year old male who is pretty thin (120lbs) so I know I’m not likely a typical gallbladder sufferer.
Nervous appointment is Monday,and I’ve never been put under before.Also nervous because of some of the risk factors.I just want to know if complications with these procedures are common.
