Pre Op Testing

[MustLuvLhasa's 0]

Hello, I am new to this website but have really enjoyed and have been encouraged by what I've read. I have been aprroved for my surgery and I am currently doing my pre op test. Did anyone have to have a EGD test done before surgery? If so how was it and were you completely out?

I don't have to have one done prior to surgery, but I have had one done before, and I was put under anesthesia for it. It was a different type of anesthesia though that had me awake and alert a few moments after the procedure was done.

It wasn't bad at all. I think I had a bit of a sore throat afterwards, but nothing too bad.

When you wake up you don't remember anything, the anesthesiologist will make sure you are comfortable during the procedure, but you do wake up faster than you do with a general anesthesia.

Hi, thanks for the response. I live in Irving, Tx and you are having the surgery the day before my birthday. Please keep in touch I'd like to know how everything went. I hope to get my date at least by mid Aug. I've just started my pre op testing.

Great...I don't know why I am so nervous about this..I've been told its a real quick procedure. I now I know I won't remember anything that really helps. Thanks
