EGD Tomorrow!! SCARED!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give ya'll an update on how the EGD went.

I arrived at the hospital, checked in and went to the third floor. They gave my fiancée and I our own little room so I can change and wait till it was time. After about 30-mins they came in and put in a IV. (This was my first time putting an IV in and she said that this was the most painful thing). After about another 30-mins they wheeled the entire bed I was laying on into another room with the camera and stuff. They put a small little oxygen tube in your nose. (Now it doesn't go up in your nose. Just barley sits in your nose. After that they tell you to roll on your side and last thing I remember was just looking at the monitor while she was explaining how it would take 60 secs lol. I was wheeled back into my room sleeping, where I personally woke up in about 20 mins because I didn't want my fiancée to wait.

I have no pain at all, I don't have a soar throat or itchy throat or anything. Weird because my tonsils are HUGE.Once I got home from doing my other EKG and pre-testing at my doctors I was knocked out for a while.

So don't be afraid anyone of this procedure.

I had mine today too. Was so quick, I got the IV the O2 and told to lie on my side and I remeber seeing the Dr with the endoscope and then I was out. I really thought I would feel something like the propofol going in or something. Then I woke up, my mom was with me when I woke up and she said I was talking to her a few minutes before, but I have no recollection of that, I hope I didn't say anything weird...LOL. Then we left. I was really unsteady, I now know why they make you have someone take you home, I never would have made it on my own. I went back to sleep for like an hour when I got home because I was so tired. I actually still feel a little groggy when I stand up, but nothing bad. My throat is a teeny bit sore, but nothing horrible. Only thing I am kind of annoyed about is that a couple minutes ago I noticed that they hadn't taken the EKG pads off me. I had assumed they did and was so out of it never noticed. So I just took them off and I have red marks from them. I wish they had told me that they did not take them off.

Haha yes, I remember right before I feel asleep she said "Now I'm not going to take off your EKG Pads, because you men tend to get excited when ur sleeping and feel that." I laughed and ripped them off when I was changing back into my shirt when leaving.
