Good luck Sarah4kurt - you'll be fine!!!

EPU is not too bad - you are knocked out so after its like you are achey and bloated which is annoying. But not really painful. I had a Panadol or two on that day and was better by the time transfer came around. It's probably the meds that bloat you up too!!!

Come join us in the LTTTC and AC thread its very helpful!!! I am on my phone so too hard to put the link in for you!!

Well done on your first 'stab' !
Pretty much what myturn said. I felt a little sore and bloated & that was it. I have good recoveries from surgery though.

Best of luck
