I have been searching the thread and can't seem to find it. My question is have most gotten an endoscopy pre surgery? I didn't I got an upper gi

Hi there...my endoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Could someone tell me about how long you were groggy after you were on your way home from the procedure? My friend is taking me there and picking me up but I was wondering if it was safe for me to drive home after I hung out at her house for a few hours.

My surgeon requires both the upper GI and the endoscopy. Endoscopy is done and the upper GI is at the end of the month. I still don't understand why he wants both but he says that for sleeve patients he needs to be extra careful and be aware of all issues. I'm not thrilled about it but if it's not worth changing surgeons just because I think he wants an extra test.

I think you are going to have to see how you feel. It's really different for everyone. I had mine in the AM and think I could have driven in the afternoon but they told me no driving for 24 hours so I didn't drive until the next day.

Thanks so much. I will just have her drive me home and not chance it.
