AMC endoscopy--- last question.. really I mean it
Ok someone said that the anesthesia was provided by IV and somewhere else I heard it was just a regular injection of valium or whatever. Which is it? I am not a great needles person ( I know least of my worries with surgery right) so I am hoping to hear it is just an injection... please someone clear it up for me.
IV access they need that established should they need to add other meds/fluids. The IV Versed works MUCh quicker than any old intra Muscular! IM!! IT is a better choice on so many levels should youneed more no wanting to wait 20 min for IM to work!!! Jamie

Have to say that it went a lot better than I thought. The IV went easy and after having to be switched to a different room because something wasn't functioning I was off to la la land. I don't remember a single thing... not being told to swallow or anything. So I am pretty thankful for that. I have ever so slight soreness once I finally ate something. Thanks for your support guys. Only 8 days away now...
