EGD done

[ice75002 43]

Just had my EGD this morning. So quick and easy. Now my sleeve is scheduled for Feb 10, hope that goes just as well.

@@ice75002 did you go under anesthesia?

Yes. They just used Propofol, so you are still breathing on your own

I had my EGD today too and my surgery is 2/15. I've had an EGD before and was fine, but this time I felt like crap afterwards. Boo.

They actually did mine the day before my surgery. Definitely very easy. No pain and no issues at all.

Dumb question here: what is EGD? What does it stand for?

It's not a dumb question, walklady. (I had to look it up to find out what it meant) EGD stands for Esophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is a test to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestine.

Ok now I get why it is abbreviated! Thank you! I just now bought "The Big Gastric Sleeve Book" and it is probably in there somewhere.

Do you feel anything during the procedure? Is it uncomfortable? Or are you in lala land?

[ice75002 43]

I didn't feel a thing. I was put under but breathing on my own.

They said I may have some throat discomfort afterwards, but nothing for me.

My surgeon did not require this pre-op. I've learned on this site all doctors are very different.

I was OUT, so much better than the colonoscopy!

Just had mine today, and absolutely no probs.

They said it would hit me like a bunch of beers, so lying on my side I closed my eyes, woke up back in the day surgery waiting room where I was given muffins and cheese.

Better than I had anticipated.

I have mine scheduled for next Tuesday and I'm irrationally nervous. I hate people touching my neck/throat so I'm just totally on edge. I hope the anesthesia makes me 100% out of it.
