Good luck to you...I was turned away when I was scheduled for an endoscopy 2 weeks ago. I had the tube down my throat and all...5 minutes later they woke me up. They told me my sleep apnea was too severe to be fully sedated. I called my pulm specialist right away for a clearance and pleaded to the gastro for a second chance because the surgeon wouldn't do the sleeve without a biopsy from endo...I got rescheduled right away...don't be scared! God is great all the time and He finds a way for anyone that believes in a better life.

Thanks for your words of encouragement I know my God is a mighty God and I have nothing to fear but I guess it's just part of being human!

Good luck to you also !!!

I was VERY nervous of this too. Previous to the endo I never had any surgery of any kind. It's a very easy procedure and they medicate you so you don't remember much or even care. You will be just fine....I promise!!

Totally aggravated !!!!!! So I have my drop me off at hospital and the plan is for my coworker to pick me up . Ok so I get dropped of , I go in and register while I am waiting a nurse comes out and calls my name. I get up to walk inside to be told I have to reschedule because the doctor has to do emergency surgery. So now I am 30 minutes away from home sitting in a lobby waiting for my ride.

That is so not acceptable. Docs usually have partners. One of them should have stepped in. We never turn patients away. Even when they show up prepped for colonoscopy on the wrong day. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

You want feel a thing....I had mine and I didnt even know what had happened. I prayed before going in and all was well.....Good Luck to you and it will be just fine

Exactly ... Now I have 2 weeks to do it now which is going to push my surgery back by 2 or 3 weeks ughhhh

Just did my endoscopy today..... That was ok not to bad.... But I wasn't scared of this ... I'm terrified of the surgery :-( it's coming soon... 6 days... 2-13-13 but excited to start my new life!

I was scared of the surgery also, but it actually went really easy and fast. I was up and walking in an hour or so after surgery. The worst was the gas but the walking helped a lot! Hope all goes well for you, keep us posted and let us know how you are doing!!
