Sorry to be a kill joy, but I had an endo several years ago when I was diagnosed with GERDS. I remember everything!! They had a hard time finding a vein and then when I was wheeled in I remember them asking me to swallow several times. I wanted to gag so bad. They kept telling me not to throw up, and not very nicely either. I guess they thought I wouldn't remember a thing, but I did. You can't talk because there is a tube in yuour throat, and you are sedated. I felt trapped in my body and prayed that it would end soon. I could hear everything they said and was interested when the doctor said to the nurse, "look, see when I touch this the sphinctor doesn't close all the way, a classic sign or GERDS". I was so relieved when they wheeled me back into recovery.
I'm looking at an endoscopy for Lap Band surgery, and I will definately be relaying that experience to who ever is putting me under. I'm actually more nervous about that proceedure than the actual operation. Having said that, I would deffinately endure the endo to get the surgery. It is doable and rather quick, unconfortable yes, I just don't want to remember!
Sorry, just voice any concerns you have with your doctor or the person putting you under.
