Endoscopy Thursday - What Happens?

[JackieOMonroe 123]

I just got back from my endoscopy and from what I recall, it was no big deal. I remember gagging a few times, but there wasn't any pain. They gave me 5mg of versed, 100mcg of fentanyl, and 2.5mg of diazepam. The procedure itself took 11 minutes. I never did and still don't feel even slightly groggy or drugged. I didn't believe they had given me anything at all! They told me not to drive at all today, and of course I won't, but a half glass of wine would feel more relaxing right now. I was counting on being really tired since I lost so much sleep worrying about it last night. Oh well. *shrug*

Meredit: The nurse told me that they were having a really hard time getting versed these days. She said it was on national backorder. I'm guessing that's why they were out of it when you went in for your procedure.
