Has any one had this done before, if you have, what was it like. From what I

know, the doctors anethesize your nose, then put a tube down your nose into your

esophagus while you are awake. I heard it is painful and there is a lot of

gagging! The doctor said it would take one hour!? Why would it take an whole

hour!? It seemed more like a 15-20 min. test! Is this true? I am so scared and I

am going to have it done this Friday!!!!!! (The doctor thinks I have achalasia

due to evidence from an barium swallow and an endoscopy)
