Yeah, nudity is required for surgery for creation of a sterile field. You'll probably be given propofol for the procedure, that white stuff that Michael Jackson died from. I had some administered to me for a colonoscopy, and I was OUT for just over an hour. I guess that's why they call it "milk of amnesia." If that won't do it for you, ask for some Ativan before the procedure to calm you down.
