I had mine today. All I had to do was drink this barium drink while standing and the doctor was taking video and pictures while it was going down. Then they lowered the table and I was on my back doing different turns on both sides then on my stomach while the nurse giving me a straw to sip the drink. Lasted about 15 minutes. Wasn't bad at all. It was easy and pretty neat watching the liquid going to my stomach. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight the night before test.

My EGD was drastically different than Brandylc's. I couldn't eat/drink for 6 hours prior. Got there, was called right in. Put on a gurney. IV started. Put a plastic tube between my teeth and within 5 seconds, I was out. Pretty sure I was awake within 20 minutes. Piece of cake. Nothing to drink. Fully asleep. No side effects afterwards.

I had mine on Monday...same experience as MOM26, It was not a big deal at all...it was an endoscopy. The only difference is it took 3 hours to get there, waiting on the doctor for four hours, having the test, and then another three hours home. Some doctors do the endoscopy and others do the barium test.

I have to fast after midnight and they'll be putting me under to do it. It takes 1 1/2 hrs to get there. Hopefully in and out.

This sounds more like you did a barium swallow...not an EGD...

EGD is done and I'm omw home ☺ went in, got an IV and all hooked up, they put me under and I woke up in the recovery room. I walked out of the hospital and my throat isn't even sore ☺ I'd say it couldn't have gone any better. Everyone was very nice, to me AND my family ☺

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
