i just had this procedure done, and was terrified after reading all the posts online about it. Honestly, the procedure was more uncomfortable than painful, in fact I really felt no pain during the procedure....the thing that hurt the most actually was the shot of motrin i got in my but! I was awake the whole time, i had my mom in the room and took a valium before, it was fine....i just wish i hadn't read all the horror stories about it online.
