COLONOSCOPY

A Colonoscopy enables your doctor to examine the lining or your colon (large intestine) for abnormalities.

UPPER ENDOSCOPY

An Upper Endoscopy lets your doctor examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum.

PROCEDURE PREPARATIONS

Make sure that you follow your preparation instructions given to you by your doctor.

You must make arrangements for someone to come with you for your procedure because you will not be able to drive home.  The person driving must be at least 18 years of age and a licensed driver.  If you must travel by public transportation (taxi), you will need a responsible adult (age 18) to accompany you home.
