Hello, I hope this helps. I have had two of these. Would describe them as odd and a little uncomfortable but not painful. Shall you be having any drugs to help? The second one I had was done by a "learner!" and took longer and with no drugs. A very experienced and kind nurse held my hand.

Good luck and you can pm me if you want to chat.

I would personally ask for a light sedation I’ve had two, one with and one without and the one with sedation was a doddle most people seem fine without but I wasn’t I found it horrid
I didn’t have any after issues at all

Just actually got an appointment for December. Doctor wondered if I have an ulcer. The text I received said I would receiveinstructions nearer the date. Looking things up there are risks so can’t help feeling anxious. I am 83 and not robust. Have been below par for some time. Any one had one? Can you recall what had to be done or not done as preparation? Also how did you feel after as only a few days before Christmas.
