Actually, I've had this done, and to make my procedure even more difficult then yours, I had a piece of my upper intestine removed to test for celiac disease. I was nervous going in to the procedure, but all in all it was a absolutely simple and easy. While they don't fully put you under, you are put in a pretty relaxing state where you probably won't even remember much of what happened. All in all, my worrying was really not needed for how easy the whole experience was.
