HI
Thanks for posting your query .
A minimum of 8 hours fasting is required for esophageal endoscopy else there is a possibility of Vomiting food particles during the procedure .
So I advise you to have a late night dinner at around 12 or 1 and be nil orally after that .
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Happy to answer.
Regards.
