I had the LEEP done yesterday at Duke Ambulatory Surgical Center. They put me under anesthesia and I don't remember a thing. I've only had very mild cramping, less than I normally have with my period. Hopefully all the abnormal areas are gone. I would recomend Duke to anyone the experience was great.
