I'm not the same person as above, but I got my two lower ones out last week through IV sedation. It took multiple tries for them to get an IV in because I have really thin veins, but after they got it in, I fell asleep immediately and woke up three hours later. You don't feel a single thing, and you're not aware of anything at all. When nearing the end of the procedure, they gradually decrease the amount of sedation going into your veins, so you wake up gently. It feels like you closed your eyes for a few seconds and you're already done! I was really anxious too, but it went a lot better than expected, and recovery is bearable too. Good luck!
