Dr says I need an EGD. He said they don't put you totally out, but that I won't know what is going on. Please tell me I am not going to know they are jamming a scope down my throat!!! Did you know what was going on??

No you won't know... Trust me.. I am one of the most "pain sensitive" people I know... They have you start swallowing the scope while you're going under.. and before you know it.. it's over and you're awake!!

I was out, not remember any of it! The only thing I remember was they put something in my mouth to protect my teeth and then I was gone.

I just had one done two weeks ago and it was painless!! All I remember is the same thing as liberated sleeve. They put something in my mouth to protect my teeth and next thing you know I was waking up and it was all done. You will be fine! :)

I had it done last week (my 2nd one) and I did NOT enjoy it. I was partially out, but obviously not enough, because I could feel myself heaving uncontrollably, but nothing I could do about it. Afterwards, I was told I threw up multiple times...

:(

I'm a GI Tech & have had an EGD, you should go to a doc that uses an anesthesiologist instead of a councious sudation nurse to give meds. With anesthesiologist there's no reason you should be awake or rember anything.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
