Twilight anesthesia

I had my pm on 2/6. I may have to have an upper endoscopy soon with twilight anesthesia. Has anyone had one performed at a GI center and not at a hospital?

I have had GI procedures under anesthesia over the years both at GI procedure room in a Medical Office building and in a hospital setting! As long as a nurse anesthetist is on board and you are hooked up to a cardiac monitor, you are fine. The only thing you would have to check with the GI doc is that you might not be able to lie down on your left side with only 4 weeks into the pm implant. The doc might try to do it in other positions. 

I always shudder when I hear dental procedures done under general anesthesia in a dental office!!!
