  • I scheduled mine first thing in the morning last Tuesday. I was the first one there at 6:00am....they had me ready to roll into the room in no time. The longest wait was for the doctor to arrive

I took about an hour and a half from getting my IV to being ready to leave after recovery :) hope this helps!

I had mine 3 weeks ago today. It was two hours from the time I checked in until the time I walked out. Wife says actual procedure was less than 10 minutes.

The procedure itself was a non-event. No biggie.

Lay down on your back....elevate the head end of the bed and then roll onto your left side....warm blanket over. 4 deep breaths..............and it was over. Woke up feeling excellent like no time had passed.

Zero hangover feeling later on, however, I did catch myself nodding off at times without control. There is a huge reason that you aren't allowed to drive to/from the procedure.

My advice is to schedule yours for the very earliest time slot available.
