Endoscopy In An Hour...

[mwrarr 244]

I barely slept & now of course I'm parched & can't drink! Lol ugh. This will be my 1st invasive medical procedure... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

Mine was a breeze, I was freaked out and the nurse said "oh sweetie, you aren't going to remember a thing!" I was so worrried about gaging! and she was right. They gave me a little something in my IV and 20 minutes later they woke me up and I was alert and awake and they said all was good! Don't worry! You will do great! Good Luck!

This is one procedure that you shouldn't worry about. You won't even know it happened when you wake up.

Yep, it's a breeze!Fact, you're probably in lalaland already. ENJOY!

When I was banded I had so many done I looked forward to them.. Best sleep I ever experienced while having the band. I wasn't coughing, gagging, or puking blood.

Hey, if i knew how, I would change my name on here to Ms AntiBand... Maybe I'll work on that.

ANYWAY .. Be on your way and relax ;D

Thanks all :}

It was fairly smooth, although not as quick as they made it out to seem. At the 1st Gastro consult they said it'd be about an hour total in &out, but ended up being more like 3... Ugh. I started tearing up in the processing & then in waiting room. Poor Sam didn't know what to think LOL throat is a little scratchy, but no big deal now. I'm glad they gave me a copy of the pix...I'm rather morbid that way haha I may frame it & hang over my desk. ;}

Glad all went well. Good luck on the next steps!

Thank you! I'm realizing as the sedation drugs are finally fully working out of my system that the clear exam means I'll be clear for VSG (instead of RNY, which would've been my only option if evidence of active ulcerations, etc)

My final referral appt is with cardiology next monday @ 8am. Then one more wrap-up appt with my surgeon & insurance submission! :}

I've been worried about my upper GI on Friday for weeks. They didn't tell me if it's actually an endoscopy
