I've had several Lithotripsy's and they're not really a big deal. Please don't fear being put to sleep. Before you know it, you'll be waking up and it will all be overwith. I've been put to sleep many times and have never had a problem waking up. Hope it all works out well for you.

Hi. The last stone I had a Lithotripsy for was 6 mm. Yes, it was broken up without a problem. I know. You'll do fine. Post on here after it's done. I'll be thinking about you. Sue
