EGD

Had my EGD today.. Wow that was so easy not what I expected.. Thought I would wake up with a sore throat. Didn't know I even had it done.

Glad things went smoothly for you! :)

Good for you -- one more hurdle out of the way!

Mine was today too! Easy peasy, though I am pretty tired still 7 hours later.

Mine went smoothly too... it was super easy! My husband had the same procedure a few months before I did, but it was to test for celiac disease so they had to go poking around in his intestines, and his throat did hurt after probably because the scope was in there longer. Glad things went smoothly for you too! One more thing to check off the list! :)

OMG! Thank you so much for this!! Mine is next Friday and I have been worried to death about it! I was afraid I would gag and cry and whine and complain until it was long over! lol What a relief to know its a pretty easy experience!

I have mine in 6 hours. I am nervous and cannot sleep. Thanks for the info.

Had my egd yesterday. Ten minute nap felt wonderful. No issues. Small amount of burning like reflux because he took two biopsies. Other than that, no problem. And beforehand, I was terrified.

I had mine done yesterday, awake!! No sleepy medicine for me. It was very uncomfortable and somewhat painful but I handled it like a champ! lol He also did 2 biopsies. My sister was able to watch the whole thing on the screen with the doctor. He went thru my nostril and it is still a little sensitive today. Glad to have it over with!

All done. Was not bad but my app was at 6am 65 miles from home so we were up at 345. I came home and slept. looking forward to the next step.

I'm so glad to hear that everyone did so well. I have my EGD next Thursday the 24th and the gal making the appointment for me guaranteed me that I would not remember a thing. After reading your success stories here, I'm not worried a bit. Thank you!!!
