The procedure is done as follows: After the test is finished, you will not be able to have food and liquid until your gag reflex returns (so you do not choke). The test lasts about 5 to 20 minutes. The anesthetic spray makes it hard to swallow. This wears off shortly after the procedure. The scope may make you gag. You may feel gas and the movement of the scope in your abdomen. You will not be able to feel the biopsy. You may feel bloated from the air that was put into your body. This feeling soon wears off.
