Diarrhea after upper endoscopy?

I need advice! I had my pre-op upper endoscopy yesterday under general anesthesia (propofol) since I don't sedate well with twilight sedation. I felt fine immediately after, but then got really nauseous and threw up grape juice all over my husband's car on the way home! That lasted through the evening. I'm not throwing up any more today, but now I've had bad diarrhea all day. I called my surgeon's advice nurse and am waiting for a call back, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this after an EGD or after propofol. Does this sound similar to anyone?

I just had mine a week ago and felt fine afterwards, just a little groggy. Came home and took a nap. Felt fine after I woke up. Sorry to hear yours didn't go as smoothly.

Thanks. I heard back from the doc's office, and they said diarrhea is uncommon after so it might be something else. And now my work BFF is feeling sick too...this might just be really bad timing for a stomach bug!

I typically get very sick with anesthesia. They usually give me anti. nausea meds before and after, and i am supper careful what i eat after. Typically. Not much.

I had my EGD along with a routine (screening) colonoscopy on Monday, and felt nauseous before the procedure but not after. I was just sleepy and gassy afterwards.  

Sorry to say, you may have a bug! I hope it passes soon.  But isn't it great to check another pre-op procedure off the list? Whoopee! :-)

get well soon...
