Hi Sara. I had GK 2/22/05. They only uncomfortable
part of it is the head frame. It is awkward. When
they put it on, I won't lie, it hurts. They use 4
pins, 2 in front and 2 in back, to position it. They
give you an IV to relax you and then shots to numb the
area where the pins go. You really don't care what
they do. I went in at 4am and was on my was home by
10am. Sometime they will keep people overnight. It
just depends on the person and the Dr. As far as they
procedure itself. It is a breeze! Hope you are doing
well.
