Nervous about EGD coming up!

[A_ReNUDE_me 148]

I have my EGD scheduled for this Wed. It's one of my final hoops before scheduling my surgery. After having to take a sleep study' date=' I just found out that I have sleep apnea and now I have to sleep with a C-pap machine. I am so not looking forward to having a tube or camera down my throat. Can anyone shine a light on the EGD procedure and put my mind at ease? I know the doctors say it wont hurt, but really??? Are my fears unwarranted?[/quote']

Just had mine on 9/26.. didn't feel a thing. MD found some erosion at bottom of esophagus, did a biopsy.MD said I probably some GERD to be honest I do feel heartburn from time to time...I have a follow up appt on10/15 , I just pray nothing delays my procedure

I just had mine done on Thursday. Eazy peazy! No pain or discomfort.

I finally had mine on 9/25 and it went well. No problems found. Now I just need to wait for my final nutrition appointment on Wednesday for my surgery date!!!

My EGD is tomorrow morning. I look forward to clearing that hurdle. I have assisted in many EGD's, they have all gone very well. As long as the drugs are onboard, the patients do very well.

Probably the easiest, painless, comfortable procedures I have ever had. Once the proprfol hit my brain. Milk of amnesia is a blessing!!!! The results... a hiatus hernia, and all negative pathology. One very easy hurdle to clear.
