There's nothing to worry about. They (should) put you to sleep and you wake up after. I love endoscopies.. I love the sleep ;)

Oh wait.. Unless you're worried they will find something.. But then there's still nothing to worry about because worrying won't help. Be positive :D

Me too. I got taken out with propofol. No wonder Michael Jackson loved it so much. That stuff is awesome!

Endoscopy is easy - I had no pain at all. I woke up from the anesthesia and asked why they were taking so long to get started - I was shocked it was already done!

I think mine will be at the end of my 6 months. I sure hope they put me to sleep for it.

How did u feel after. We're u awake enough to go to work

I needed my wife to drive me home per hospital rules. I walked out perfectly stable on my feet. I felt a little tired for about 4 hours afterwards. After that everything was like a normal day for me.

Oh my gosh I went to work and struggled hard to stay awake. I did have someone drop me off at work then take me home, but to tell you the truth I was pretty much regretting going to work. I would have been fine at home watching a move or something lol

I just had mine today. There really isn't much to it like others said. I actually had a colonoscopy right directly after it so I did a double whammy. That was my choice just because it was due to be done. I was not able to drive and was told isn't permitted by law anyway. You'll be fine.

      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.
