Pre-Op Egd

So - I kinda got my pre-op EGD yesterday and the worst part was the IV. Must admit it did burn with the propofol hit my hand but i was only awake a couple of seconds to feel it then next thing I knew I was back in the little waiting room and on my way home. This whole time I was nervous for nothing lol. Only 2 months to go!

    Yep my surgeon makes everyone get an EGD (Endoscopy) in case there are any ulcers or anything that needs to be addressed prior to surgery..

    OK the best part was apparently when they were waking me up in the scope room - I asked "Did you find the baby?" LMAO... funny thing is I would have asked that sober.

    I had one yesterday!! I was really nervous too but like you said, the worst part was the IV. That burned ALOT and it still hurts!! Does your throat feel weird? My throat is starting to feel weird; no pain but feels a little raw.

    Has anyone had the endoscopy yet? That can calm me down....I'm freaking out because its a moderate sedation and not a deep one. Am I gonna feel it. I'm not good with things like that and am wondering If I should ask for deep sedation.

    You will not feel a thing. Even with the lighter sedation, you will be fast asleep.

    Good luck!

    That's what the EGD is. It's the endoscopy.
