I was schedule to have the endoscopy done this Thursday morning at 715 am, I have to be at work by 9. So my question is will I be ok to go to work? Will my throat hurt? Would I be able to eat properly? Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my question.

You are going to be very groggy still. I had mine at 3:00pm and didn't remember anything before 4:00. After that I was just drugged up for awhile unable to drive and very tired. I lied down and took a nap. Some people complain of throat soreness. I didn't have that and I was able to eat. I don't know what you do for work, but it may be better to go in a little later.

I was so scared too. It is so easy though. After it was over I wondered why i was stressing so much in the first place. The drug they use doesn't put you all the way out, it's just a sedation. I felt like I was having a very relaxed daydream. Over in no time. My husband told me I was really mellow and telling him how good I felt. You will be fine. :)

It's kind of a strange euphoric feeling. You are awake until the very last minute while they are setting up, then they inject the drug in your IV and you feel it right away and just kind of feel very relaxed. I remember kind of thing "oh yeah, I can handle this" lol! You don't remember anything, but I had a sense I was awake, but I was kind of dreaming about gardening of all things, then they were telling me it was all over (felt like only a minute had past) and my memory was a little fuzzy after that in recovery. I remember my husband and the doctor there, but can't tell you exactly what they told me. But I felt "good". By the time I was in the car I remember more and just had a good buzz going on.

The doctor told me in recovery when he came to check on me and I remember most of it, but had to review it with my husband later to be clear about it.

Yes and I would not have even known the difference. He said the biopsy is common practice to test for the H pylori. You won't even feel it during or after.

It is just a bacteria that can cause ulcers. They just want to know what you have going on so they can predict what you will need if any treatment

No problem, I totally understand. I had so much anxiety going into it. I wish i would have posted on here about it first. It's so easy. Good luck and write later and let me know how it went for you. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
