No worries!!! You drink some lovely chalky gunk and they take x-rays. No drugs,no sedation.

When i had my upper GI done prior to surgery, I could not drive myself. They gave me (twilight), not complete sedation, but I do not remember any part of it at all. I had no discomfort afterwards at all. But I did have to sign a paper that I had a driver.

That would be an endoscopy, if that's what you're having you absolutely will need a driver!
