Oh gurl, you’ll love the sedation!! I loved waking up not having fingernail marks in the palms of my hands! 😂 Just make sure you mention wanting sedation when scheduling the appointment. You’ll also need someone to accompany you to the appointment as you won’t be permitted to drive afterwards, even though you feel steady and clear minded.

By 20 minutes or so, you’re ready to head out with really no issues. I always had other appointments right after my biopsies and it was never a problem with walking to them or communicating with my doctors.

Will this be your first time to Rochester?

@loribmt no I was at Mayo once. I see the doctor from there by video now. I think I'm going to make an appointment though and get back to Mayo. Best of the best and that's what I want!!!!! The trip is worth it!!!
