Anyone have some insight on the EGD test??

What do you want to know exactly? I had mine 9/21

It's nothing! I am the biggest baby when it comes to medical procedures and this was a breeze. It actually helped me make the decision that I could handle the sleeve. I'm still pre-op by the way. I have my date next month. If there was one thing I wish somebody told me before I had mine it would be to relax. Just relax. It's literally over so quick. You go in, lay down, they give you some valium through the IV. Then, they lay you on your side, prop a pillow behind you so you remain on your side. Next they give you some oxygen so your comfortable. Then they put a little mouthpiece type thing in your mouth with a hole in the middle. The hole is there so the doc can pass the scope.It's not bothersome at all. Then. when the doctor is ready to start, they give you a pain med. Thats all I remember! It took 15-20 minutes..I remember the doc saying "your all set, everything was fine"..Your alittle groggy after but thats all. My throat was a little sore from the scope, but that was it! You'll do fine!

What is EGD?

Mine was the same as Boston George. Only difference was they gave me Propofol to knock me out.

I bring that up bc I too was FREAKING put about my egd. Mainly bc I had never been knocked out before. When the dr was trying to calm me

Down before he started he made a terrible joke and said 'don't worry Michael Jackson used Propofol'. And thn I said yeah but he never woke up! Everyone laughed and he started and it was over literally in 10 minutes. It's a piece of cake and I too wish someone told me what the above poster said.

Good luck.
