Yes, wishing you luck with your endoscopy, MomwithHope. Stand firm with those actually administering anesthetic, because they may not have received the memo. I make it especially clear that I want only the very smallest amount of anesthetic when everyone involved in the procedure is present and agrees.

I even have to fight for my life with dentists…I need only 1/4 of "dose" they say is necessary to put me under.

Point is, you're the boss. If they give you less than you need, they can very quickly up the dose mid-procedure. Much better than walking -- and driving--around groggy or worse for days afterward.

Thank you FRiend. The nurse did assure me that they use versaid (sp?) not propofol and that if the nurse asked me something I would be able to respond but I would not remember it. It is being done at an gastro clinic across the street from the hospital. I also have sleep apnea and have been told by the doctor there that I have the smallest of 4 throat sizes. Oh Joy!
