So I am all done.

I was sedate. So I don't remember much. I remember Dr A asking if I wanted the drugs and I said YES.  and than him saying it will take a few mins to work.  Than him asking me If i watched the olympics and I said I have and he said I should watch the skaters from Last night. And than he sprayed this stuff in my throat and asked me to swallow and thats what I remember.

Oh and him saying he will see me in two weeks.

So a peice a cake in the end.

Drugs are good :P lol

Did they do a IV? How did you feel afterwards?

I'm trying to get a afternoon appointment so I don't miss

more work then I need to.

Somehow I don't think I'll be going back to work afterwards though

as I work in a call center and need my throat/voice.

How long did it take?

I had iv drip and thats how they had the drugs to me.

Before dinner I started not feeling so well. I have no idea if it was from the scope or not.

I could talk.

When you have the drugs ur not allowed to sign any legal documents or drive for 24 hours.

If you like u can private msg.

I did this without the sedation and I would tell everyone if you have the choice due the sedation  this makes things easier and less stressful.  I had to go for breathing tests right after so had to be awake.

No way! LOL….Take the drugs, LOL…I (keep in mind I am a huge whimp) would never ever ever have the scope again without the drugs!!! No way, No sir, LOL…I would go through surgery again before I would have the scope without the drugs…heck I would even have stitches taken out of my slits that stung like bee stings, lol…before I would get the scope done without the drugs…but that is just ME…tons of people have had it without the drugs before and done just fine…but me….I am a whimp, LOL…
