Nervous about EGD coming up!

I have my EGD scheduled for this Wed. It's one of my final hoops before scheduling my surgery. After having to take a sleep study, I just found out that I have sleep apnea and now I have to sleep with a C-pap machine. I am so not looking forward to having a tube or camera down my throat. Can anyone shine a light on the EGD procedure and put my mind at ease? I know the doctors say it wont hurt, but really??? Are my fears unwarranted?

    My EGD is tomorrow morning. I look forward to clearing that hurdle. I have assisted in many EGD's, they have all gone very well. As long as the drugs are onboard, the patients do very well.

    Probably the easiest, painless, comfortable procedures I have ever had. Once the proprfol hit my brain. Milk of amnesia is a blessing!!!! The results... a hiatus hernia, and all negative pathology. One very easy hurdle to clear.
