If I'm going to have a stomach endoscopy this morning am I allowed to eat my breakfast? Or at least have a tea? Water?

IM sure the Doctor told you not to eat or drink anything for at least 12 hours before the procedure,and thats exactly what the meant.They want nothing in your stomache when doing the test to get the best results,also the dont want you vomiting during test,relax the test inst all that bad and you can hold off eating for that amount of time.

No, you will be sedated and they will be putting a camera/tube/etc down into your stomach. I believe I was on a 12 hour fast prior to endoscopy. You should have received instructions when it was scheduled.

Well, it would seem that you've already had the test.But, for future reference,nothing to eat or drink after midnight before the procedure, unless, the Doc says otherwise.

Nothing. You are allowed nothing! Do not drink or eat anything. If you do then they will cancel it.

NO! Do not eat and you can only have clear liquids! If you eat, they will postpone this!
