Endosocopy In the Morning

My last hoop before I can get approved for a Surgery Date.

Having the Endoscopy done tomorrow, Does anyone have any advice as what to expect, what I should bring or will need that you wish you were told?

Thanks!

 I did not have to take anything. They supplied all I needed. I was zonked all day though!  Lol

I was only there for a couple of hours. The only thing I needed was someone to pick me up.  I was nervous because it was my first time ever having ansthesia but it rocked my socks. I swear I woke up and felt like I had slept better in those 10 minutes than I had in monthes.  I felt fine afterwards. I drove later in the afternoon and felt fine the rest of the day.

Good Luck!!

 I didn't have to bring anything- it was an outpatient procedure. I was given anesthesia-unlike the anesthesia that is used in most surgeries it I was assured that it wouldn't make me nauseous(i'm very prone topost op anesthesia nausea) and I had no nausea. Also, the anesthesia used wears off quickly after the procedure. I had to wait a few hours before I could eat , but felt fine immediately after. I hope this helps and that you also have a problem free experience.

ive had a few of these....you'll be fine...its a piece of cake dear...you cant drive afterwards so make sure someone takes you.

I remember absolutely dreading the first endoscopy I had years ago. I have since had a couple more. All of them were easy- way, way easier than I was expecting. No problem at all. You do need somebody to drive you home.

I'm sure it will be fine.  I have mine on Friday.  Unfortunately, it's not my last hoop, though.  (I had a sleep study done last summer that said I don't have apnea, but the pulmonologist wants another one just to be sure.)

Either way, good luck!
 

Thank you to everyone that posted! I was nervous, but after reading your responses this morning calmed my nerves.

The procedure made me nervous at first but I was knocked out before I could say anything.

I woke up the Dr. said I am good to go and approved me for the surgery. My Surgery date is May 16!!!

I was nervous to have one, but it was a snap! Some people say they have a sore throart afterwards mine was a little, nothing bad. When I got home I was a little tired so I took a nap.
