OH Member Lynden Reeves has a detailed blog about her surgery day and I have to say my day was the same. Check out her blog!

DR. A is like everyone has said. When I met him it was like I have known him forever. I guess I felt that way because of reading his site and reading all about him on this board. Its all the truth, he is a great surgeon!

It was a little weird going into the OR. I am used being knocked out before they start prepping me. So that was a little nerve racking but I was fine. They put the mask on my face then I woke up in my room.
My chest hurt a little but I knew from a previous surgery that I needed to take deep breathes. I also had like a big gas bubble feeling right below my sternum. In 24 hours both were gone. I really had no pain and no nausea. I tried to sleep some but got up as much as possible and move my legs. 
The next day I was walking the halls.
Oh I have to mention. Dr. A also fixed my umbilical hernia labrascopically and the only reason I know he did it is by there is no longer a big bulg in my belly button area.And the reason I say that is because I did not have any pain what so ever!!!!!!! He did a great job!
