My endoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow! Apparently I am being sedated for this. Any thoughts or any heads up with regards to the endoscopy?

Literally painless. Afterwards had sore throat for a few days.

You wanna be sedated, just like the song.

Maybe a sore throat for up to a couple three days, maybe not. If so, it may even be as mild as the slightly annoying feeling that often precedes the common cold.

Maybe a slight bruising around the collarbone or upper shoulder(s) from being leaned on during the procedure, maybe not.

Nothing eventful, nothing that will keep you from going about your usual routines.

Most people have no issues but just in case you have a crazy throat like mine (Even when I was completely asleep, my silly throat decided to fight it and spazz out grrr), you may have a very rare side effect of having bad acid reflux for a week or so. It will go away, just take OTC Antacid, and it'll be sufficient.

You might just have a tiny sore throat afterwards. Nothing to be frightened about, they give you a tiny bit of sedation and your done.

Had tondrink some stuff before I was knocked out extremely close to puking it up. The absolute worst part about the test. They soon knocked me out and I woke up in recovery and walked out 10 mins later. No sore throat or any different feeling from when I walked in.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
