I can only answer your question about the EGD....

I've had well over a dozen of them.  They give you what's called conscience sedation.  To you, you are asleep - you won't remember anything. 

There might be a lot of commotion in the room, but once they give you the "happy juice" in your IV, you'll be out...

Just remember that you'll have to have someone pick you up.  They won't let you leave alone because of the sedation...

When you wake up, the IV will probably be out and your first thought (after "where am I?) is "I got to use the bathroom!" LOL    They do pump the fluids in!

thank you

hey I lost touch with mary and dr. sapala since they moved to li>>>can you give me their number?
