I just completed my EGD Friday and it was a truly awful experience. They gave me anesthesia and I had such a hard time breathing that they ended up having to stop the procedure to intubate me because I stopped breathing. The anesthesia wore off before the EGD was done and while they were pumping oxygen into me. So naturally I freaked out screaming.. anyone else have any issues like this? I'm worried if I had this difficult of a time for a simple procedure that I won't make it through the actual bypass! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's an endoscopic examination of the esophagus stomach and a portion of the duodenum It's basically a tube they put down your throats that has a light and camera at the end - some surgeons require it as a pre op testing. Looking for different things.. hernias, ulcers etc Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It wasn't really the waking up part that worried me. I mean clearly I don't like that I did but just that I had such trouble breathing. I'm wondering if it will be the same when I have the bypass.. Thanks for all your replies Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I just finished my sleep study last week. My primary hasn't gotten the results yet but the gentleman who done the test said I def needed to be on a CPAP machine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
