Fuming !

Oh Aly that’s pants. They will sedate you pretty heavily if you ask. I had a Gastroscopy years ago and was given midazolam, I can’t remember a thing. I had another a couple of months ago but without sedation and honestly it was ok. A little uncomfortable at first but ok. 
Just hold out for sedation and you won’t know it’s happening. 

Thank you Dani , I’ve done nothing but worry & cry since the phone call this morning , I know I just can’t do the tube down my nose/throat xx

You can with a sedative. Honest. You’ll be in La La land 

The nurse has just said she will sort out something for me & also I don’t have to go in overnight just to have my blood done so I’m having that done tomorrow then home then back in at 7 , I hope they can sort something out Dani , I don’t want any more delays with treatment xx

Best of luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Let us know how you get on 

Thank you xx

Hi Aly14, the way they have told you how the RIG will be fitted, is the way they did mine, you will be sedated so you will be fine. They are very good at what they do. Before you know it, it will be over. Look at it as another step on the way to getting you better.

Regards Ray.

She didn’t mention sedation for the tube down my nose/throat ,if I’m honest it was all a bit of a shock because for weeks now different nurses & consultants have said I will be put out , thank you for your reassurance Ray xx

Hi Aly oh dear not what you needed to hear. Sounds like it a peg then as opposed to a rig. Insist on the heavy sedation   Sending hugs as there’s not much else I can do.

Hi Hazel no I did say to her so it’s a peg & she said no it’s a rig  also after speaking to her there’s no need to have an overnight stay either , I thought it was strange , I asked her why it was & she said to have blood taken , I said can’t I have that done tomorrow & come home rather than take up a bed , she said yes that’s ok so got to go for my tube to be put it at 7 on Wednesday , it was a shock more than anything Hazel , for weeks I’ve been told I will be put out to have it done & all guided by an X-ray ultrasound & then her to come out with local anaesthetic & the tube going down my nose / throat to my stomach, I’ve got to see what they say Wednesday now , also I had to have a covid test done Friday just gone , she said I’ve got to have another one as they only last 72 hours so that was a waste of time , they knew I wasn’t going in until the 3rd/4th xx
