Laying in recovery waiting for.my lift.

Sedation partially effective, home for the football and possibly some post-op flatulence.

I went with the throat spray and it was unpleasant but bearable. I’d much rather do that and be able to walk out by myself and be able to drive home afterwards.

Went for the same as you as you say not pleasant but once down your throat all done in a few minutes and i was even able to see the TV monitor as they were doing it. Drove home later no problems.

Take every bit of of sedation you can have……. Not trying to alarm you…. The air they put inside you to inflate everything will keep your friends and family amused for hours afterwards as well,
