Question:
Sleep apnea no cpap yet, being put to sleep for E.G.D any info would be great
I don't like the idea of being asleep for the e.g.d. with out cpap to making sure I can breath. I don't have a cpap yet but I know I have Sleep Apnea.I have this test before the sleep test.Any info please!!!!! — katfish (posted on March 31, 2006)

hCall the EGD doc NOW, and run it by them, then repeat the info right
before they do the EGD. For WLS they give you a gneral anthestic, what your
going to have is twilight sleep, you wouldnt be aware, but shouldnt be out.
But its always best to notify everyone involved

The EGD was a very short, simple procedure. It was sleepy time for around
20 minutes, and then up and out. Very quick. I took my CPAP, but it wasnt
necessary.

Hello I just had mine last friday and I did not think it was that serious
but it is. So you need to relax and do what they tell you. THey have spray
for your mouth and they give you a IV to put you in a twilight but I was
talking to them and then i did not even realize i feel asleep they awake me
up to tell me to get on my back because i had to do mine on my side. I feel
right back a sleep and they just keep lefting my sleep until it wor off.
Then they give you something to eat to see I you can feel it. The only
thing is you will still for a little tried from it if you are very active
like. I took the the test went and got something to eat because they said i
had to eat before i went back to sleep than I want to sleep for like 4
hours and got up went to church becuase I had to sing. I felt tried and I
dont knoe what. Every time I sat down i fell asleep if I was not doing
nothing but I got some good sleep thoiugh that night I did not want to get
up at all. But nothing to worry about if safe.

I agree with Karen. The gi team will put you on oxygen and moniter you the
whole time. You basically wake up and say "are we done". you are
not really alseep but sedated and given a drug that makes you forget and is
very fast acting. It also leaves you quickly. So please just relax. I hope
all is well with the scope. I have sleep apnea and have had a scope and
some other surgeries before the WLS. I would do it 10 more times if I had
to. Hope this helps. Reg
