Joedobbs Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi, Don't like making random appointments with Doctors I don't know. Looking to see if someone can recommend a gastroenterologist in Bangkok and preferably at Samitivej Sukhumvit as that is my go to hospital. Need a consultation and then possibly a colonoscopy, so if anyone can recommend someone they were happy with please let me know! Thank you!

papersource Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I saw Dr Morakod Deesomsak at Samitijej a few years ago for a gastro problem and she did a colonoscopy on me. I would go back to see her again and would reccomend her. She is a good doctor and easy to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it last? Do they sedate you or are you completely under? Is it done in an operating theatre? Does it hurt? Are you able to leave the hospital the same day? A little anxious about having it done... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Colonoscopy is a same day procedure. You are given Iv sedation that will completely knock you out, you feel nothing other than the initial insertion of the IV. The only unpleasant part is the prep (powerful laxatives to clean out ypur colon). You can go home as soon as you are fully awake which usually does not take long. But best to have someone with you and don't plan on driving as you may still be a bit spaced out for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that a special doctore knocks you out and manages you while you are out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You breathe normally on your own and are semi-conscious but will not feel a thing nor remember anything. They use short acting IV medications. Usually does not require an anesthesiologist.

lopburi3 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If this is the sedation used for upper endoscopy it is very pleasant indeed. Woke up on bed in next room after procedure not remembering anything after they said inserting mouth piece - and feeling as if had the best sleep in years.
