I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have I know I had many and it helped to have someone who had gone through it answer them.. I went in as scheduled and everyone was really happy and positive in the hospital... I remember talking to the Dr. then it was all over I woke up in recovery. groggy but releived I had woken up :-) I was taken to my room... I got up to walk in the afternoon ( I had my procedure at 8:00 AM) and i was walking around at 6:30 PM... I am happy I stayed one night just for observation and came home the next day.. so far I am walking around the house today I actually drove and walked for 20 minutes around my block... I am having pain on the left side but that is it.. the key thing is walk walk and walk drink plenty of fluids too..
