ohgeeasleeve 12 Posted October 8, 2017 I had my first appointment, I heard a lot of things about my doctors office staff, but everyone I’ve come in contact with has been fantastic. Just scheduled my egd to check for ulcers/hernia etc. I’m a little nervous about that. Any advice? My stress test will be the same day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sosewsue61 3,185 Posted October 8, 2017 I was nervous - but the anesthetic they give you makes it a breeze. You might have a slight sore throat and be thirsty as heck afterwards... I had no erosion or inflammation - but the biopsy came back with the h.pylori bacteria in my gut. And that means 10 days of these 2 vile antibiotics. I hope you don't have that, but just know you are in good company if you do - lol. For the stress test - wear workout clothes, etc. Do not let them tell you that you have to run on that treadmill w/o your sports bra - that is just plain laziness on the technicians part. The very first time I did a stress test they did that - bunch of bs - I was soooo mortified doing that, and it was a young guy and he made me wear a gown on backwards and I was so close to tears. The second time I had one I found out that is pure bs. They can put the sensors on under your sports bra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was super nervous for this too but do not remember a thing from the actual procedure. A little sore throat was the worst of it. No worries!

purplegal05 16 Posted October 8, 2017 I just had egd last week. It was a breeze. It was the best sleep I've had in years. The prep for test is worse than the exam.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 ohgeeasleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
