I have a digestive disease and have had to have three of these done and I'm only in my early 30s. They make it pretty easy now-a-days, as they knock you out. You won't remember a thing, and once the medicine wears off, you'll be back to scarfing down food I know it's uncomfortable, but it's worth having the procedure. The prep is the worst part. I use Vaseline so I don't get a rash-gross, but the best advice I came give ya. Good luck and try not to worry...
