So far I am extremely happy with my decision. I had very little pain...well I do have a high pain tolerance. It's more of discomfort. I guess I kind of built myself up that I was gonna be in extreme pain so it wasnt so bad. So far the most pain I'm dealing with is this drain.Bad things- waking up wit catheter in and having to walk the floor with it still in. Kind of felt like a tampon in wrong and having to pee, lol! Extreme dry mouth-Since you cant drink until you get an upper gi done my lips were horrible. Crozer was nice enough to provide these mint flavored sponges which helped a bunch, along with helping you freshen your breath. and loud roommates- it's funny because all you want to do is sleep...but you have nurses coming in to wake you up every couple hours the last thing you wanna hear is the loud person in the bed next to you
