What to Expect for an Upper Endoscopy (EGD)
What to Expect
Have someone drive you or be available to drive you home the day of the procedure. Due to the sedation, you will not be allowed to drive yourself. Somebody responsible for you can accompany you in a taxi, but no public transport is allowed. This is for your own safety. Your procedure will be canceled if you do no have a ride.
It is recommended that you do not go back to work, do any strenuous exercise, drive, or sign any legal documents for 24 hours after the procedure.
If you are taking any anti-coagulant medication (i.e., Coumadin, Heparin), please be sure to notify your doctor.
