EGD Scheduled week before surgery.

I have my EGD scheduled next week Thursday 15th. It seems like everything is coming together before my DS June 22. I was excited about getting it all set up, I forgot to ask how long the procedure for the EGD is for. What was your experience??

Usually a half hour or less - you spend more time prepping and recovering from anesthesia than the actual procedure.

Mine wasn't long at all, but it tied me up for the day just because of the anesthesia. I felt fine but they recommended not to drive that day after the procedure.

Wheen I had my ENDOSCOPE I was told no drivin, no making major decisions or signing any papers. It is true it only takes a short time. But you get to have one heck of a nap. LOL

Had my EGD done today! It sure was a breeze! It definitely takes longer to get prepped. Yes- I had an awesome nap too!!
