My experience has been different from almost all i have read. First of all, I had no pre op diet except soup only 24 hours before surgery. I went in to the hospital on 8/27 at about 6am. My surgery was at 8am. I woke up in the recovery room about 10:30. I was a little sore, but nothing like I expected. At 3:00 the same day I was at home watching television. I have not had any complications. Has anyone else had a pretty easy time like this? I was expecting to worse.
