So due to the weather my egd was changed from Monday to today. I had a bad anxiety going in,but kept positive. I have to admit I did not have a good experience. At the end of the procedure I woke up and he was still scoping. There was a nurse who held my arms, and the anesthesiologist assistant was kind and said he was just about done. (Did she misjudge) I was trying to swallow because of the amount of saliva and I was gagging. When he pulled the scope out the nurse,said I coughed throughout the whole procedure. This was really not the experience I was hoping for. My throat is very raw. It's been 13 hours since I have had it done and I still feel terrible. I have petechiae (small broken capillaries) all around my eyes, and bridge of my nose. I must have been coughing hard. I know they did not spray my throat as well. I know that should help with gag reflex. I am actually second guessing my surgery in 2 weeks based upon this experience. Did anyone have a bad egd experience?

Sorry to hear about this. I had my EGD done yesterday as well. No troubles here. It was like I fell asleep and woke up and it was all over with. I didn't get to talk to my surgeon but my wife did and she said all went well. She did mention there was a erosion of my stomach and they took a biopsy. Did your surgeon mention anything like this to you? My wife seems to thing this is standard but it still concerns me. My next apt is on the 11th.

Good luck to you, hope you feel better!

I had mine on the 20th and if my surgery go as smooth as my EGD did I would be ecstatic. No sore throat or anything. Sorry you had a bad experience and hope your feeling better.
