Ok I dont want to scare anyone. It sounds like you all got to get the one where they put you to sleep. I was not so lucky my doctor did mine in his office while I was wide awake. He put lidocane in both of my nostrils to numb them. Asked me which one I thought was the numbest and proceeded to stick a camera down my nose and throat while a nurse held me up from the back! I will not lie it was HORRIBLE!! No the nose didnt hurt but I could feel it in the back of my throat they kept telling me to swallow!! My eyes and nose were both watering and I was choking!!! The only good thing was I actually got to see the inside of my stomach which was pretty cool and it was over fast!!!

That's horrible. I got put to sleep Thank God. But you did it and I think you are brave!

  1. Thanks everyone for the support. I've been so freaked out about procedures and surgery, I've actually lost 10 lbs. My surgeon said that's normal, too. If we could stay freaked out for life, we probably wouldn't have a weight problem at all.

  • My scope is going to be an endoscope and colonoscopy too. Both ends are being scoped while I'm under amnesia. Yay!
