It went pretty well. It was outpatient, so I went home when I woke up, and the ride was tough; I was really sick to my stomach. And the pain med (Hydrocodone) also made me really sick to my stomach and left my mucus membranes pretty much bone dry. And I didn't get any kind high from it. Fortunately I could stop taking that after Tuesday, but it still took a few days to get my digestion back to normal.
They pump air into you to make room to work, so I couldn't take a deep breath for a couple of days, and the added pressure made me have to pee often and forcefully. As it diminished I got pain in my shoulder joint like bursitis, since the air goes up and filters out there (according to my wife's clients who had hysterectomies and had the same problem).
Now doing better and back to work (though wishing I had taken more time off since I'm feeling better and could better utilize the time off) but still hurts a bit when I walk and more when I laugh or cough or sneeze. I look sort of like I got stabbed once under the ribs and shot twice along my right side. And they shaved me there, so its starting to itch.
I can eat whatever I want, and am back on my normal diet, but I suspect that too much dairy might be problematic. Have to see about that. My weight is down a couple of pounds, I presume from not eating much for a couple of days, and having part of me removed.
