6. Don't be afraid. I put it off a long time because I heard how awful the preparation was,

and I thought I would have a really hard time fasting for so long. It is pretty awful, but there is a lot of good advice on the web to make it a little bit easier. And it's all over a day later.

I could have even driven home, but the hospital wouldn't allow that. Schedule the procedure for about 10 in the morning (or earlier) so that you don't have to be hungry too long, if that is a problem.
