Just had my TEE 2 weeks ago, you won't remember a thing. I didn't even have a sore throat the next day. The worst part was knowing you had some kind of discussion afterward but not havign the faintest idea what about. Be sure to have someone with you to fill you in on the details. Mine showed that my insufficiency has progressed to severe, but I was glad it did because I knew that I was ready for surgery. I didn't want to have fire any more cardios for telling me it was all in my head.
Good luck.

Hi Ross-
Joe's last TEE took a half hour and he was in sort of a twilight state. It was the best one yet. Doctor came to see me immediately afterward with the verbal report. It was all very professional, and slick.
What's a half hour out of your life to find out so much? It's faster than a root canal!

Hey Ross! Here's what happened in my TEE: I get in there... they start an IV; spray my throat; told me to turn on my side and bam!!! Don't remember a thing past that!!!! No sore throat, went home feeling none the worse for the wear!
Okay... Imma' gonna' keep my fingers, toes, legs, eyes and arms (did you know they call that arms akimbo???) crossed for you on Wednesday! Just think of the cardio in his underwear... unless of course your cardio is a woman and very, very shapely!! In that case... think of a chicken in his underwear!!! ha ha
Take care,
Zazzy

Zazzy, if I thought of this guy in his underware.....Well I don't know, I think I might flee the scene! lol
Everytime I have a visit with him, he rocks in a stationary chair the whole time he's talking to you. That in itself, makes me wonder what he's thinking about while he's talking. hehe
Thanks for the heads up everyone.
I've had one before, but I was already unconscience when it happened, so I don't remember it or the helicopter ride to Cleveland either. Darn, I always wanted to ride in a copter and the one time I did, I had to be out of it.
The Doc's have done everything else. I guess the TEE is just to get a different look at the heart and make sure there are no surprises when surgery begins. I hope to have a date after my Doc visit on the 24th.

Hey Ross - I love Zazzy's idea. Works for me. Guess the drs want to cover all bases and it sounds like you won't recall much of your TEE. Just hang in and let us know how it goes. God bless
