Hi Linda, I had a LEEP done 18 months ago. It was not bad at all! The only thing that bothered me were the needles ( I am a HUGE needle baby) they use to numb your cervix. I was not given any other medication and I did fine. You will not feel anything and the procedure doesn't take too long. I did feel a little woozy when I first stood up and had some slight cramping later in the day but that was it! I went to work the next day with no problem. I was told to eat something before the procedure so if they give you that advice please eat something! I think it helps you not feel so dizzy! The procedure worked for me; I have had normal paps since! Hang in there and let us know how it goes!
