I have had 6 of these and refused sedation every time.(I'm terrified of IVs) Plus I want it on a screen so I can see. They sprayed my throat to numb it, ran the scope down(since I was awake they asked me to swallow several times) and in my case they ended up draining quite a bit of acid and bile off my tummy so they could see better. The worst part is if they aren't careful you drool all over yourself. They really are quite easy. I hope yours goes as great as all of mine have.
