Due to my coordinator's efforts for me, I get to have my EGD in about 10 hours. This is awesome, since I'm not working this week and therefore won't have to lose a day of work.

For some reason I'm having a hard time sleeping. And here I thought I'd sleep away most of the time I can't take anything by mouth. I want a big glass of Water in the worst way right now!

My guess is that my body is just being perverse. Gah!

Good luck, please post your experience about this if you can. This is the one test i am terrified of and most likely im going to put it off until last.

I have my EDG at 10 am today. I will post my experience.

I have mine tomorrow morning-I'll post my experience too. Been told by many that it's a piece of cake so trying not to be too nervous.

I had mine about 2 months ago. I was so nervous about the EGD. My first time in a hospital not visiting someone else. But it was so easy! One minute I'm talking to doc and staff in procedure room, and next thing I know I'm waking up in another room, feeling like a just had a good night sleep. About 30 minutes later on my way out to my ride home. Easy, Easy Easy.

I had an endoscopy about a year ago for a different issue... Super easy, I don't remember anything but the doc talking, and waking up in the recovery room. Not even a sore throat. No worries, you will all be fine.

Headed home from EDG. It was a piece of cake!

Thank you all for sharing your experience, makes me less nervous about tomorrow.

I'm home after stopping to have lunch on the way back. It was entirely uneventful. I love my bariatric team. They had the right blend of leaving me alone to read and relax with intermittent stopping by to chat and make me chuckle while I was waiting for my turn. I'll be working with many if not all of the same peeps when I have the big surgery, and it was great knowing I'll feel comfortable with them!

By the way, I don't have a sore throat either, just a very slight scratchy feeling like my allergies are playing up a little. In all honesty, it could be my allergies

I have my EGD done and it went well. You go in and take off just your upper clothes ( girls you can keep a sports bra on.. I did) they give u an IV for fluids and then When you go into the room they will send you the anesthesia through the IV but you are awake. They give you just enough so that you don't feel anything. They put a bite in your mouth so The scope goes through there in the doctor takes pictures of your Esophagus, the top part of your stomach, it goes inside your stomach to the small intestine and takes pictures. The whole process was really short like only five minutes. I felt completely fine afterwards. My throat was slightly sore the next day but that was it.

I actually had to strip and wear a gown and robe and had full general anesthesia so I was out. It was still no big deal.

Just had my endoscopy. Doing well just tired. Had twilight anesthesia. Wasn't too bad at all. I was just super scared during the prep and cried the whole time from my anxiety. Not my finest moments but it was all for nothing. No need to be afraid it was easy and over real quick.

I was supposed to have mine on the 1st of this month. I rescheduled for the 29th because I barely slept the night before because I'm a HUGE chicken...lol. I have surgery anxiety. I will be nuts the day I got in for the sleeve! lol

I know, I'll probably cry up until they knock me out for the sleeve lol.

Can you request to be knocked out fully for the egd? My problem is i cant even swallow pills and i doubt ill be able to follow a command to swallow when they are inserting the scope. Im afraid i am going to panic
