Not sure what drug I had during that, but I had an anethesiologist come in my room and talk to me beforehand so it was probably the good stuff. I don't remember anything.

Propofol requires an anesthesiologist. Most insurance companies will not cover this and most GI doctors don't even offer the option. Propofol is a drug that requires serious monitoring. It is very easy for things to go very wrong if not used properly... ie Michael Jackson.

Yes, well aware of what Propofol is--have been a RN for 36 years & work for an insurance carrier. We cover it & I would not be having the procedure anywhere that did not offer the option. That is a personal preference & I realize others do not have this choice.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
