Your not a whimp mate . I don,t want it done either and have avoided it for 12 months but i know when i go back the docs they will be suggesting to go for it again .
Theres many on here who have had it done and i know of people who go regular to have it done , they all say the same , its nothing to worry about . I believe you get sedated and can ask for "max sedation" .
The warnings of death etc in 1 in 25000 , i think theres such warnings on meds and most procedures , its simple from all accounts and you are in and out in no time .
By all means discuss with your Doctor , thats what they are there for .
I,m going to bite the bullet myself and get it done if my regular DR thinks i should this time . Its the waiting for the appointment for months that stress,s me out .
