I had my endoscopy yesterday!
It wasn't too bad. I was sedated, but still partially awake. It wasn't painful at all.

I also have a stricture, which to my understanding is my esophagus was too small, so they stretched it.
I have to take Prilosec to help control the acid, and see the doctor again in 1 month.
