    I think a GA for a liver biopsy would be overkill, too. But I certainly think I need something to help me cope with the anxiety on the day. Just something to make me relax and not freak out...

    As for when I meet my specialist - I have an appointment in July, but I was told that they would ring me to move it forward and if I haven't heard from them by Wednesday to call them myself to move it.

    I'm starting to think that if they won't offer a sedative of any sort I'll get my GP to write me a script and get someone else to drive me. Probably not really a good thing to do, but I feel less anxious if I've got a plan B in place.

    Definitely BW. That sounds like a good plan B to me.

    Perhaps you could meet them half way and request a twilight sedation. They could give you some pre op meds to calm you down then just the light sedation which means you don't remember anything about it. I've had one for a endoscopy and it makes you sleepy but not totally out to it and I didn't remember a thing about it afterwards.
