Hi Jeanie, Yup, I've had them too. I've had 15 of them to exact. For me they were painless. I had general anaesthesia and woke up as they were taking me to recovery. I have a lot of trouble with anaesthesia, so me waking up while they were taking me to recovery was no big surprise. I once woke up during the endoscopy itself, but I don't remember anything. LOL I hope everything goes well for you and they find out what is bothering.
