Stressed

[txflea 63]

I go in tomorrow at 10 am for an EGD, I dont know why this stresses me out so badly. I think it's finally hitting me that 'hey, your surgery is now right around the corner'.

Has anyone else had to have an EGD?

I cant sleep I'm so nervous!

No, what is an EGD? I had an EKG but I have never heard of that.

I had a battery of tests^.. EKG, bloodwork, chest xray,upper gi, and pulmonary function... but never heard of a EGD? Everyone gets nervous , just remember you are doing something for your health and take it one day at a time... once I decided to get the band , I was ready ... the night before my surgery I did take a sleeping aid so I wouldn't be stressed and tired... it helped.. Good Luck ...

ekg?

if its what i am thinking, they hook you to moniters to listen to your heart...in my opinion it took look to hook and then unhook me then the entire testing time..

An egd is the scope of your upper gi tract. I had one too. It's really nothing. They knock you out and it feels like you wake up a few minutes later. There was no pain or anything other than the air they put in your belly. It's not a big deal at all. You'll be fine!

I had one and it was mostly painless other than a sore throat afterwards. I was clamping my jaws down so hard on the piece in my mouth they had to wake me up to get it out because I wouldn't let go of it with my teeth!

I've had two before even considering getting banded.

They are really no big deal. Also had a colonoscopy, which is no big deal either, other than prep.

Well I did the Edg, yes the scope that goes down the throat. Everything looked good and so the surgery is a go. The only thing they found was a very small heital hernia. So I call the Dr tomorrow so we can set up the surgery date
