Endoscopic procedure

I'm almost done with my pre-op testing!  The only thing I have left is the Endoscopic procedure.  I'm a bit concerned about the procedure.  Foolish me, I thought that the procedure was simple and done in his office.  Needless to say, I found out that it's done in the hospital and they put me under.  Holy crap! 

Of course, compared to the actual VSG surgery, it should be a peice of cake, but I found that I am totally nervous.  I had to arrange for my husband to be with me so that he can take me home afterwards.  The doctor told me that I was not to drive myself.  Crap!

The Gastrologist actually indicated that if he found 'bacteria' we would have to suspend the VSG until it was treated.  Holy crap!  I soooo don't want anything to interfere with my surgery date!  3/2/10 is two weeks away and I am so psyched! 

So, I'm praying for:

NO polyps and
NO bacteria

RUTHIE, HERE IS WISHING YOU WELL ON YOUR ENDIOSCOPY.  HOPE ALL IS WELL. VICK

Thanks Vicki !  In a moment of weakness, I panicked! 

I hope everything works out for you and that you don't have any problems that they need to address.

Yeah, me too!  LOL!  Thank you for the pep talk.  I need it!  I'll keep you updated after the procedure next Wednesday. 

Ruthie, they are taking all the precautions to make your surgery as smooth as possible.  They will give you some wonderful medication to ease you through the procedure.  Time will stand still and you will be done with the endoscopy before you know it.  Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you progress through this pre-op stage.

Why is it that you are always the one to remind me of common sense?  ROFL!  After reading your post, I am actually looking forward to the "wonderful medication"!  AAAHHHH!  Thank you, hon.

Its nothing to chatter your teeth about....you'll come through with flying colors!  I'll talk to you soon!

Hi, dear friend!  Funny looking chattering guy there.  It's very apropos as I just came home from the dentist!  Talk to you soon!

I had to have that done, too.  It was pretty uneventful, and though I wasn't put "asleep" I didn't remember the procedure!
