      Ok, my experience ? Arrived 5:30 am, taken with hubby to prep room, change into sexy gown and socks, nice nurse asks questions , I sign papers, she takes my weight and BP etc. Puts an iV into my arm with "relaxer meds" ( easy) , Dr. comes in to say hello and see if I have any concerns, ( nope ! did ALL my research !), 7am ish Im rolled off to the operating room , nurse chats , puts a mask over my mouth, and asks me to count backwards from 10. Zzzzzzzzz Next thing I know im done , waking up inthe recovery room, foggy , cotton mouth, not sore much. Home by 11:30 am ! Very sore for 3 days, fine after that. Went back to work on the 7th day, doing great ever since ! Good luck !!

      same as pink dahlia except I was scheduled to stay one night. I had no pain. NO regrets. worst part was waiting to do leak test so I could get something to drink. that happened about 30hrs after surgery (bad cotton mouth!)

      That doesnt sound to horrible. I know they said I will have to spend 1 day in the hospital so I'm trying to prepare for that. I cant sleep if its not my bed. also I have the highest bed ever I am 5'3 and my bed comes up to my ribcage *sigh* this is going to be interesting.
