The total time you will be in the Endoscopy Suite will be 2 to 3 hours at the University of Vermont Medical Center, and about 1 to 2 hours at the Green Mountain Surgery Center. You must have a responsible adult driver who will be there for discharge instructions and to drive you home.
The procedure cannot be done if you are not accompanied by a responsible adult driver. Taking a bus, rideshare service, or taxi alone is not considered to be safe and is not authorized.
