First time anesthesia tomorrow!

My gastro will be doing an endoscopy on me tomorrow. Sounds wonderful. Not too thrilled with being put down. It's my first time going under. I really hope I don't end up as a viral youtube video! HAHA!

Surgery day was my first experience with anesthesia. I was so freaked out about it, but it ended up being super easy! I worried myself to death over nothing.

Good luck tomorrow!

You will be fine; it will be over before you know it. I have had three in my life; I'm 62. At 10A I was in O.R. and back to my room at noon and home to watch General Hospital at 1P. Take care

The anesthesia for endoscopy isn't bad. It's not full on general anesthesia like you will have for the actual surgery. It's a twilight anesthesia. You'll be completely out of it and wake up in recovery but it's much easier to handle than general in my opinion.

I was nervous for the endoscopy, but it was so quick. They sedate you, it's a different drug than a surgical anesthesia. I worried for nothing. The hardest part for me was being hungry and thirsty because my appointment was at 3:45 in the afternoon

Thank you all! It was fine very easy peasy. I felt so chatty and confident when I woke up. It was wonderful.
I wish they told me it was twilight lol, my Grandma had that for her caterats. She had it good!!!
I was just glad I didn't do anything embarrassing. I was chatty but I'm super sure the nurses are used to that. My neighbors didn't feel the same. Maybe I got lucky haha.

I'm still in the beginning phases on wls, but with the endoscope was the complete surgery or a surgery just to get a view of your stomach?

Did it hurt?

Endoscopy hurt?

[kins117 104]

It's not surgery, it's just a diagnostic test. Zero pain, very quick and easy.

Endoscopy hurt?

Nope not at all.
