I had a different doc doing the procedure a couple days ago. Previous doc went into geriatrics or something. So, I'm half-sitting on the gurney in the 'event room,' all wired and ready to go, and the doc is verifying medical history, etc. Looks at me and asks, "are you a runner, or do you swim or cycle?"
"Yes, I cycle. Why do you ask?"
"Because your heart rate is 52. Good job!"
Wife, sitting there, says, "Busted!"

That's an understatement. I had my first about 5 years ago and decided to do it unsedated. I just couldn't see wasting much of my day as well as that of my wife (plus I was afraid of someone taking advantage of me when I was loopy ) And you know what - the prep was still the worst part. The discomfort during the procedure was mild compared to that of the prep. Doc gave a pretty good running travelogue, too, as I watched the monitor.

That 5 year mark takes a long time to come- then you wonder why as you get on with the rest of your life that has been in Limbo.
