would you go through with the procedure?

I can understand why it might be useful in people suffering from a very traumatic experience that makes them unable to integrate with society. However, as the question is directed at me as an individual then I would have to answer no, most emphatically no. Sure, there are memories I'd rather forget, and indeed I've succeeded in forgetting most of them, or at the very least putting them at the back of my mind but I would not want to lose them for they are a part of me just as much as the good memories.

Steve is right, I've seen people with lost memories, just gotten off the phone with one in fact who thought I was my father, it's not something I'd wish on anyone, not even my worst enemies.
