I have had an endoscopy and it's a breeze. They set you up with an IV that contains a very mild anesthetic to help you sleep and the entire procedure takes about 20 minutes or so. You won't even remember being on the table. You may have a bit of a scratchy/sore throat from the endoscopy tube but other than that you won't have any issues at all. You can do this! :)

When are you getting yours done? It's a piece of cake the longest part is getting admitted and prepped the procedure itself is 5-10 min

I have my endoscopy on Friday and I'm nervous. Left is the CPAP install and the chest X-ray. They really make you jump through hoops! Still haven't scheduled my sleeve. Next appt is March12 for the psych and nutritionist. Everyone else seems to be moving along so fast! It feels so slow for me

Don't get discouraged or impatient your time will come and it's meant just for you. This is a big life change so you can never be too prepared. I will admit I felt like you some days, I started my sleeve process in December and here I am 12 days away from surgery. So hang in there my fellow sleever :-)
