What was your experience like? Were you sedated?

I was sooooo nervous. However, easy breezy.............

No problems before or after.

Very easy procedure. They took vitals and started an IV in the prep area. The nurse gave me the first of the meds as they were wheeling me out of the holding area into the procedure room. I remember being in the procedure room for about 30 seconds and the next memory is waking up in the holding area again.

The procedure was so quick my clinic didn't even have you change out of street clothes.

No after effects except for some residual sluggishness from the versed and fentanyl. Went home and took a couple hour nap and was fine.

I was given what they call twilight sedation your not under full anesthesia supposedly lol all I remember is going in laying on the table an IV was in already they say turn on your side I'm going to inject meds into your IV now a few seconds later I felt extremely drunk that's all I remember until waking up back in the prep area an hour later I went home my husband had to drive I couldn't even walk right I was so loopy they wouldn't do the procedure if u didn't have a driver I had a sore throat after for a couple days nothing awful

I did mine along with my colonoscopy! Two for the price of one. I was scheduled for a colonoscopy anyway! Was sedated and it was done before I new it!!

Me too! It was scheduled before I even thought of WLS. I breathed into a tube, was out within seconds, and then awake again before I knew it. No complications. I arrived at 9:00 am and left not more than 2 hours later.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine!
