my surgery was done todat at 9:00...I know my story is similiar to others but I enjoyed reading other peoples expreience so I figured I'd post mine...
I had a pretty mild case but was noticable when i wore a shirt/wife beater...never in a million years did i think i would get this done but i figured i should just be a man about it and get it done.
I took a valium and a anti-biotic two hours before my appointment..There was only about a 10 min wait from the time i got there and when i went on the table. The nurse put the IV in and and she said it was only salt water at that point...i dont know if she lied or what because i was pretty much out of it after that point...I listened to my head phones while i was under local and sedation and the doctor performed my surgery...I remember being consious and feeling cutting and pulling but i didn't feel and pain. I was so out of it the music was blaring in my ears and i dont remember one song i listened to. Toward the end I remember screaming in pain as i guess the anesthesia was wearing off...apperetly i told the nurse I was going to slap the Sh*^ out of her. every now and than i remember asking the surgeon how everything was going and he said fine...when it was all done i sat up and walked into another room where and felt completely fine. I waited there about 45 min with my iv and the monitor hooked up to me just for precautions...I than got dressed and left and i got home about 1:00...the surgury was a little less than 2 hours but felt like 5 minutes..
I get to see my results on the 1/3 so i'm crossing my fingers...ANYONE that is nervous about getting the operation done, dont be...it was much easier than i expected and im not in that much pain as of right now...I hope this helped to anyone contimplating surgery...thanks to everyone who answered all my questions leading to the surgury...ill post pics when i get them...
