its no big deal I had one not long ago you lye on the table in a darkened room with usually just the tech and he or she puts some green glop on your chest and rolls the ball thingy around for a few minutes on each boob that's it.

You are absolutely correct.  IMHO, one doesn't need to do an ultrasound (or mammogram or MRI) unless something more sinister is suspected.  If indeed you plan to have surgery, then the surgeon is going to remove whatever is there.  There is no such thing as "whether he can remove it or not."  If it is there and causing excess size of your breast, the surgeon can remove it.
