Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
Normally, the
endoscopy remains a normal day care procedure. Many patients can have it under sedation in fact
The fact remains that the
anesthesia will not work very well in view of your cannabis use. So it is better to do as the doctor says, because endoscopy may become uncomfortable. And if you move during this, it can become traumatic thereby complicating the matters.
So I would suggest you go with the doctor's suggestion. Of course the risks of GA re there, but are minimum in a planned procedure
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
