Gag me after noon
Today is my first GI procedure. I’m having an upper endoscopy which means I’ll be doing what made Linda Lovelace* famous. This one isn’t supposed to be too bad other than the fact that I had to stop eating at midnight and my appointment is this afternoon, which means I’m starving.
* If you don’t know who that is and are at work, I don’t advise googling her name.

Well, I hope you enjoy it as much as she did.

And here you thought that worthless master’s degree would never pay off.

Just don’t think about bacon.

I’d have gone with the “Alien abduction and probulation” angle myself, but your take on it made me chuckle too.

No, the “Alien abduction and probulation” is next week.

Hoping for some good results here.
The worst part is when they start the IV. And this is from a whiny five-year old crybaby candy-ass.

Good Luck, Hope all is well when they are done.

Good luck.
This might help…

I had my gallbladder out laparoscopically three years to the day. Thankfully, I never had a GI, the gallstones in the sonogram was enough to tell them there was an issue.
All I can say about the surgery is don’t hesitate to do it if you need it. I felt like a new man almost immediately after surgery.

Good luck with the procedure today.
As to Ms. Lovelace, legend has it she learned her “skills” by training with a sword-swallower.

I’ve had both procedures, at least for this one they knock you out. BTW next week enjoy the nuclear colon blow known as Golytely (or other prep).

As a sufferer of Chron’s disease I’ve had all three possible GI procedures a couple more than once. The prep for the Colonoscopy is the most unpleasant part. Unless you ask my wife, who will tell you it was when I asked the nurse to pull my finger while still recovering from the anesthesia.
