Endo Question - Sedation?

[Soon2BMiniMommy 92]

Hey, my beautiful and handsome Pre and Post Sleevies!! My EGD/endo is scheduled on Monday and I have a question about the sedation they use. My surgeon said it's a sedative, you're not knocked out, but most people don't remember. My questions are these: 1. Does it make you 'feel funny'? I HATE to feel 'funny' if you know what I mean....like that too drunk/spinny feeling. Ugh. Or do you just feel tired and can you sleep?

2. How long does the sedative last? My appt is at 10am, and the doc says it wears off after a few hours. But how long does it really linger? My Hubbylicious works evenings and I need to pick up my 2 year old at 4pm from daycare. Possible? Or are you dingey for a while afterwards??

Any other input would be welcome...one step closer!

Sure do love you guys..... and knowing you are all here with me :wub:

I had mine on the 19th. At Central Baptist by Dr. Weiss in Lexington KY. All i remember is getting the oxygen in my nose& I was gone! I woke up easy and wasnt groggy at all. My throat wasn't sore. My MIL drove me, and we went shopping, lunch & I had my NUT appt 3 hrs later. Not sure what they used, but it was wonderful.

Mine was good stuff. Don't remember a thing and woke up right after without being groggy. Hope you get the same stuff.

I was knocked out - went to sleep about 9:30, woke up at 10 - after the procedure was done and was wide awake for the rest of the day.
