How did you feel after EDG?



Recommended Posts

My EDG has been scheduled the same day as my anniversary. They told me to be at the hospital at 6:45 in the morning and I'd be there about 2 and a half hours. My plan was to come home and take a nap, get ready, then go to a movie at 3 followed by dinner. Can anyone tell me if you think I would feel up to this or if I will probably not feel like doing anything that day? I really hate to cancel but I don't want to ruin the evening. I bought my tickets to the movie yesterday and they called today to scheduled my EDG appointment and of coarse it falls on the same day!

I got a nap for my EDG, too. Someone else had to drive. I was groggy the rest of the day, but not in any pain.

Mine lasted 15 minutes. They gave me Propofol, not general anesthesia. Once the procedure was over it took me about 15 minutes to feel like myself and then I was able to leave the hospital. They did tell me not to drive for 12 hours. When I got home I slept for about an hour and was then fine.

I had mine early morning with Propofol. Took a nap when I got home. Had lunch around 2:30pm. Signed on the computer and worked from home for a few hours. I was not supposed to drive for 12 hours. I would have been fine with the nap, dinner and movie.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
