Hello my name is Regina and I am new to the group sites and this will be my first time having the surgery but I just want to know from people that already done it: does it hurt when you have surgery because I'm scared as I don't know what

welcome....

in terms of pain following the surgery it's one of the easiest surgeries I've had.

I did have a nerve block, if they offer it to you I strongly recommend it. otherwise they will give you pain meds. if your meds don't work great for you ask them to try something else.

your pain following surgery should be manageable.

Ok but I just want to know would you feel anything during the operation?

As in during the actual operation? No - you are under anesthesia.

I had my surgery just 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I did not feel anything during the operation. As soon as they gave me anesthesia, the next thing I remember is waking up in recovery an hour later. There was no immediate pain just soreness which is to be expected. Honestly, all I really felt like doing in the hospital after was sleeping but realized quickly that walking would help get the bloating down and pushed myself to do that. I generally have pain with gas but didn't have any just bloating. The only pain was minimal soreness from the surgery but everyone's story is different. You have to weigh that with the pain/feeling you have with your current health situation. Good luck.

It's so fun and it's like you're floating on the clouds but the down fall of that is that the plane has so many bumps in the air
