[quote=Anonymous]I just had mine last week and it was great. They put me under for the procedure, so it was a nice little nap. FWIW, my friend had conscious sedation and said it was painless but she could feel pressure; I was happy enough to be asleep. The prep is annoying but not as bad as I feared. There are different prep kits but you are basically drinking powder mixed into Gatorade. Typically you have to take the last dose 5 hours before your appointment, which for a morning appointment means waking up really early, so schedule midday if you can. Also, my kit had a timeline that assumed you could be a short dash to the toilet starting at 5 pm: if that's not you, maybe schedule for a Monday so you can do the prep at home. You cannot drive after the procedure: they will require you to have a ride and you should not plan to work.[/quote]
