Upper Endoscopy - I'm scared
| Wed, 05-23-2007 - 10:17am |
I have an upper Endoscopy scheduled
for June 12. I'm so SCARED. The gastro
is putting me to sleep for this because
I'm very anxious. Will I be ok???? Am
I going to choke while the camera is going
down my throat???? I'm freaking. I need
you guys to calm me down please. THANK GOD
for this board. I couldn't do it without
you. The gastro thinks I might have a hernia.
Is that BAD???? Thank you for letting me vent
again. Take care. Laura

Most procedures are done with a mild sedative/anesthesia. You won't even be aware that you've drifted off to sleep and you'll already be back in the recovery area. Trust me, I have had many procedures and surgeries done and having it done this way is great!

<Thank you for sharing your experience! Hopefully 'hocky' will see your reply and this will help ease her mind a bit.
