EGD/endoscopy

I just got told today that the doctor wants me to do a EGD before i get a date. I have a idea of it but honestly scared of the idea. I was wonderin if i get put under or partly under. I have been put under once to get a tooth cut out and i woke up screamin and cryin from reaction from the meds and i really am scared of the reaction of me gettin woken up again like that..any advice or experinces i would love to hear anything about it..thanks

Hey there!  I had the EGD done last month (I'm working towards surgery now too). 
I was put partly under for the procedure, but honestly I don't remember much.  I did wake up a little bit before they were ready for me to be, and I was coughing because they were removing the camera thingy, but it didn't hurt at all.  I can remember hearing the doctor talking about what he was looking at, and one very nice nurse rubbing my arm and telling me to relax and that I was fine.  Some more coughing, and it was out and the next thing I remember I was waking up with my hubby at my bedside. 
I can imagine being scared to death from your prior experience, but really this wasn't too bad.  Nothing like the pain you had from the tooth, and hopefully calmer on the meds this time too.  I told them that I sometimes wake up nauseous when I am put all the way out, and the doctor ordered one of those sea-sickness tag they stick behind your ear for me.  I didn't even have the sore throat that I had been warned about.
Try to relax, and I wish you luck!

I just had mine done last Thursday and I am fine, I felt nothing and they give you a medicine that causes you to forget, so if you are awake or alert, you won't remember it. The last thing I remember is them telling to me roll over and then asking if I felt the medicine, I said No, not yet, that was it, it was all black after that! LOL You'll be fine, won't feel a thing!!
