Endo Question - Sedation?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
