I have an EGD scheduled for February 12, can someone please tell me what to expect. They told me I have to have someone drive me back home.

I haven't had one but if they are telling you have someone drive you home they likely are given you a light anesthetic.

I hear it is a wonderful (although short) nap. Overwith in a snap. Will probably have a slight sore throat afterward. But since you are sedated, you will need a lift home.

Mine was easy. IV with what the anesthesiologist explained as deep sedation. I was 100% out, but for a grand total of 6 minutes (I asked out of curiosity).

I didn't feel a thing and had no soreness after the fact. The biggest issue was finding the vein for the IV! Good luck.

Thanks for the input. You guys ROCK!!! Hopefully this means im getting closer to a surgery date.

It's a 15 minute procedure where an anesthesiologist administers propofol and the gastroenterologist checks your stomach out with a camera. They check for ulcers, hiatal hernia h pylori,etc. very easy procedure

It was super easy. I did need someone to drive me home. The drug they used made me slow thinking for a few hours. I was a bit sore where they took a biopsy. But overall very quick procedure.
