Hi everyone! I am new here. I have my first pre-op appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. I will hopefully be sleeved mid-late January. My question is this, does everyone get an endoscopy?

I had one. It's really nothing to worry about. They put you under and it lasts like 10 minutes. I was home in under 2 hours. No pain.

I had one today it was ok just a little sleepy after

Everyone who is having VSG at my Center of Excellence is required to have an endoscopy. I have had a couple of them during my life and they are no big deal and it's over before you know it.

I had mine today and it was surprisingly uneventful. I remember talking to the nurses beforehand and then I woke up in recovery. Throat is a little sore, but no big deal.

I had the upper endoscopy done and it was a breeze! The prep took longer than the procedure. I remember they had me lay on my left side, and I was already very relaxed and ready to sleep, when one of the guys had to put something around my mouth, then I remember burping, or at least that's what I felt like I did, four times, then it was done!! I was SOOO sleepy though! My mom was my driver, and once we got home, I went to sleep around 3:30 pm and woke up around 9pm.
