Yeah, I had it. It was a requirement to see how bad my reflux was so I could qualify for stomach surgery.
It's not that bad. Small tube. I gagged a lot when they tried to put it in, but I suspect my reflux had sensitized everything. They'll spray you with numbing spray first then you just have to breathe and stay calm.
Once it is in, no problem. I did have some nasal irritation by the end of the period, because of bent nose/septum issues, so if they give you a choice of sides, choose your most open one. Ask any questions you want, or I forgot to answer myself.
