This is the step I was most worried about. It was a breeze. They brought me into the room, the anesthesiologist gave me something "to make this go easier" and next thing I knew I woke up in the recovery room. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else is really nervous about this part.

Mines August 13th. Did you get the results when you woke?

I have mine on friday. I was so worried about this step as well and planned on putting it off until it was the last thing i had to do, but i changed my mind. I feel ok right now but i know i will be freaking out on thursday esp since no one is going to be able to come with me.

Will they still proceed with the egd if you have a cold? i have had a sore throat for over a week now.

Yup, that pretty much describes it. I go in for another one tomorrow. The only hard part is paying for it and waking up so freakin' early.

Hi, they wouldn't let me get it done wo a driver present to take me home afterwards bc of the drugs given. U may wanna call nd ask b4 u go and are told no, that is, unless ur staying overnight for some reason.

Hi again, maybe every doc is different but they told me no cab bc they need to be able to contact that person if needed, as well as, make then responsible for u. Again sweety, call bc no need wasting money on a trip if they turn u away. They asked me when I got there to meet my driver nd made him give his number to call when they were done. I'm just lookn out for u. Did anyone else go thru the same thing as i did with requiring a driver to be there?

For me, I remember getting in the car, sleeping otw home. Got home, ate, slept til next morning:) my procedure was over at 430p.

I had a cough and sore throat and they still did mine. I think mine was mostly allergies though. As far as a driver my step daughter dropped me off and they called her when it was time to pick me up. Don't put it off if you can avoid it, that will just give you more time to get worked up about it. Good luck.

Eeeek! I have my EGD tomorrow, this will be my first IV, well.. here goes nothing!

They likely will not approve a cab, but the good news is that the procedure is fast, and you can leave (pretty much) as soon as you wake...
