Scope

Have my scope tomorrow and I don't really know what to expect. Anybody want to explain? Surgery date is one week away! Can't wait.

  • If you don't sedate easily, let them know. I was awake, but loopy. Even then, it wasn't that bad. The drugs they give you are wonderful.

Yes you sleep through the scope

The last thing I remember before going out was the lady ABOUT to put the thing in my mouth to keep it open during the procedure and then they were waking me up.

I experienced no pain

I was scheduled for 9am but had to wait until 10am because I couldn't pee. They made me stop eating and drinking at 6pm the day before and I peed before I left the house. Since I'm a young woman, and was going under anesthesia, they had to take a pregnancy test (even though I had my period - apparently it's an anesthesia rule). So don't pee beforehand!

Otherwise, it's really easy. It's a nice nap. :) Oh! And make sure you have someone to drive you home!

Mine was super easy too. I remember looking at the clock when they gave me the "sleepy" meds, it was 12:02, when I woke up it was 12:18. I was out of the hospital by 12:30.
