Can't say.: The anesthesiologist who evaluates you at the time of your procedure is the one best suited to answer your question. The best choice is the one that takes into consideration your medical history, your medications and your physical status.

That much propofol: Is too much as a single dose and the fentanyl is mcg not mg, Versed is not enough, I would only allow propofol if board certified anesthesiologist present

Need to speak to ane: An anesthesiologist should assess you prior to the procedure and they will make the decision for the types of meds and quantities many of which are based on weight, tolerance to pain meds. For an endoscopy sometimes the back of the throat is sprayed with cetacaine which is numbing medication so that the egd is better tolerated.
