I have my appointment for my Endoscopy tomorrow, I'm not nervous about the procedure as I've been put under at least 6 times in my 24 years of life. I'm more nervous about what they might find?..

Not that I think there's something wrong, I just always have that fear of getting myself checked out and the Dr telling me I'm dying or something lol.

It was a really simple procedure, I was fitted with an IV and gowned next thing I know I was walked through to the surgery room. They set you up, Make you put this mouth piece in, take deep breaths and you're OUT!...Honestly, Best Nap ever..

I think I was under for a whole 30-40min that was it!

My husband came in with our daughter around 12:30 and tried convincing me I had been in a coma for 6 years LOL. He thinks he's funny/clever...

Your husband does sound funny! That was pretty much the same procedure for me. My BP was up at first, I think I was more nervous than I expected to be, but a lot of the people who were near me were actually patients of my Surg as well so I had someone to talk to for a couple minutes after I woke up.

That nap was great I wanted to take some home with me.

Does everyone get one?? There's been no mention of that to me and I'm 16 days away

Everyone does not get one. I had to get one and others have for different reasons, but they are definitely not required for all patients.

No they didn't give me anything for it.

I'm assuming it was my own doing really, I ate hot wings the night before lol.

lol I had a similar conversation with my surgeon. He came into the recovery area to show me the pictures he took and said, "Everything looked good. You have a little gastritis (inflammation) in a couple spots but it won't affect anything." I said, "Well that makes sense, I had Taco Casa for dinner last night." He said, "Yep, that's it!" and left. haha

I have mine scheduled for July 1st. I am really nervous they asked me a bunch of questions like I was gonna die. Apparently I have to pick up a secret beige phone when I get there to tell them I'm ready for surgery lol

Lol. That is weird

Just had mine this morning. I also had a colonoscopy done at the same time. I was having having anemia problems and my gastro doctor ordered both. My surgeon requires the EGD so instead of having it done twice in less than 2 weeks, he will accept my gastro's report. The EGD is nothing to worry about. You don't feel anything while they are doing it. When I woke up I had a little cough that was gone in less than an hour. They asked my tons of questions about my past medical history before hand. It only took about 45 mins for both tests.
