Not propofol: Propofol is an excellent drug for egd's. It does not stick around a week....In fact it is out of your system in far less than a day. I would suggest calling your GI docor to discuss.

Not propofol: Propofol is very short acting. It is long ago out of your system. I would suggest calling your GI doctor.
