Had my endoscopy today

[Harpo 30]

I was scared. I H-A-T-E Things like this. I was scared, anxious, & nervous. I'm always extremely claustrophobic, & was worried about gagging when they went down my throat.

The Dr. started talking to me, and...I woke up about an hour later.

Easiest thing I've ever done.

I was in, out and awake in less then 15 minutes..... It's a very simple and fast procedure.

I waited longer to go into the endoscopy room and to be discharged than anything else! For me the worst thing was the IV-once they started that I was more relaxed. Same thing happened to me-the Dr. started talking to me and told me to roll onto my left side and the next thing I knew they were waking me up! I kept saying "you already did it? You're done?" because I couldn't believe how fast/easy it was!
