Dear Kelly You will need someone to take you, because you wont be able to drive afterwards, and someone will need to stay with you for awhile. I think that is because you might not be able to walk with out assistance. Oh & if they don't tell you, you shouldn't eat before the procedure. The meds they give you might make you sick. I didn't find out until I was there. I had to drive to Las Cruces from Silver City, aprox 2 hours. Before we left to go home, we stopped to eat lunch, about 30 mins after the procedure & my legs thought I was drunk! We had a big laugh about that. I did get a few stares, Bet they thought, gosh, that lady is drunk & it is barely noon! LOL robin
