pre-op scope
Hello!
I have my first appointment with the bariatric clinic on Monday! Woohoo! They called on Friday and wanted to know if I would like to go ahead and have my pre-op scope done on the same day. I said sure. I hung up, and then wondered what the heck I agreed to. bwaha! This is an upper gi? I'm guessing? A scope down the esophagus into the stomach? What do they give you for that? They did say I would be able to drive myself home. I am getting....something....right?
I have a "big time" gag reflex, so I opted to be put out for mine (definitely cannot be driving afterwards) But I know several people who have had it done without and had no problem. Not sure if they use some sort of numbing spray or muscle relaxer ??????

I was put to sleep. I would totally not have one without twilight sleep. And I could not drive for the rest of the day. Someone had to show themselves to drive me before the test would be done and be seen before discharge.
