If you don't mind me asking Tinky have you ever had a upper GI scope and if so what was it like?

I've had one - without sedation and it wasn't that bad to be honest. It was a few years ago now but from memory I'm pretty sure it was 12 hours or so fasting before hand. I chose to have the industrial strength Vicks Chloraseptic throat spray as I had to be somewhere later that day and couldn't be groggy after the sedation.
The only negative thing was I had a bit of a sore throat for a day or two (have had worse when full of cold) and when they took the biopsy was a strange feeling (but if they do a biopsy and you're snoozing you'll not notice).
And one last thing - I'm a typical wimpy bloke so if I can do it you'll have no problem!!
Hope this helps.
Cheers
