How did you feel after EDG?



Recommended Posts

My EDG has been scheduled the same day as my anniversary. They told me to be at the hospital at 6:45 in the morning and I'd be there about 2 and a half hours. My plan was to come home and take a nap, get ready, then go to a movie at 3 followed by dinner. Can anyone tell me if you think I would feel up to this or if I will probably not feel like doing anything that day? I really hate to cancel but I don't want to ruin the evening. I bought my tickets to the movie yesterday and they called today to scheduled my EDG appointment and of coarse it falls on the same day!

I got a nap for my EDG, too. Someone else had to drive. I was groggy the rest of the day, but not in any pain.

Mine lasted 15 minutes. They gave me Propofol, not general anesthesia. Once the procedure was over it took me about 15 minutes to feel like myself and then I was able to leave the hospital. They did tell me not to drive for 12 hours. When I got home I slept for about an hour and was then fine.

I had mine early morning with Propofol. Took a nap when I got home. Had lunch around 2:30pm. Signed on the computer and worked from home for a few hours. I was not supposed to drive for 12 hours. I would have been fine with the nap, dinner and movie.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
