Hello, I was just scheduled for my EGD, it's 6/28 at 8:00AM. I have a freelance makeup artistry job scheduled for that same day starting at 2:00PM. I have to do make-up for a bridal party of 5, it'll take about three hours total. I am contracted to do the makeup so I can't back out of that commitment. However, I am reluctant to reschedule the procedure because the date may be pushed back over a month due to ongoing contract negotiations between BCBS and the hospital (the primary affiliation of my surgeon). Do you think I will be "recovered" in time to do the makeup in the afternoon? Thanks in advance for your input.

I just had mine and was fully awake and functioning within minutes of coming back to the hospital room. You can't drive afterwards though. By the time we got home, maybe an hour later I had no signs of the drugs at all.

Have to have someone to drive you as per most hospital rules, but you should be fine by 2. You may have some bad gas but nothing walking around and gasx can't help.

I was very tired and slept all afternoon. I could not have done makeup. I guess it was the anesthesia.

Thanks so much for the responses! I feel much better.
