I am getting scoped in the morning and very scared

as I've never been scoped before. My surgeon is an hour away and on vacation so I've been to the clinic in my home town (which doesn't do gastric bypass) and had an upper GI today and they feel I have a stricture and (the local gastro doctor) will scope me at 8:00 in the morning and dialate my stomach. I'm terrified of being scoped. Could anyone thats had this done before describe it to me and tell me if its painful? Also do you think this doctor will know what he is doing? Could he strech my stomach too much? Thank you so much for your help, this site is so wonderful with all the support I've received.
