Hi all, I am having this procedure done tomorrow my surgery is 2/23. Does this hurt? Will I feel pain afterwards and have a hard time with the procedure - will I be able to go back to work afterwards?

Pretty quick procedure. I think it takes longer to check in thatn the procedure itseslf. They told me to bring a driver, due to grogginess. I think I would have been ok to drive after lunch maybe, i had it done 8 am, out by 1130. I had no after problems at all.no throat soreness or anything. piece a cake man.

There's nothing to it, honestly. I've had several of them. You're knocked out and wake up feeling fine but sleepy, plan on napping all afternoon. Good luck!

Its super easy..............I was groggy afterwards, but other than that it is fine.

I have never had this procedure done, but my mom had it done a couple of weeks ago. My dad actually had to be there for her because she was really in a fog from the meds they gave her to place her in a twilight sleep. She said she felt no pain and the drugs were good. My mom is 64.

You will be sedated for the procedure. You will need a driver with you or they won't do it. You will likely be told you shouldn't drive all day due to potential residual sedative effects. I wouldn't plan on working. It doesn't hurt.

you will be fine!

i had one before surgery & 2 since (had one tuesday of this wk)....like others have said, you won't feel a thing - be a bit off w/the anesthesia ... but should be completely fine later in the day. no sore throat either, which is always my fear.
