You get really nervous ask for a sedative. I had one about 5 years ago and it was fine honest. I didn't have one pre-op, don't think my hospital did them as routine.

Good luck

It's not very pleasant. Unfortunately I did not have anybody with me so could not have the local anaesthetic (do try to take someone with you if you can).

You have a 1 cm tube forced down your throat for about 2 - 3 minutes ........ it is horrible whilst it lasts, but it really does not last that long.

Best wishes.
