The surgery and recovery is not painful. Extra strength Tylenol is really all you need. It is important that you have the surgery, as your brain and heart are being deprived of oxygen. I had the surgery on April 28th and I feel great. Follow your Doctors orders, and you will be fine. If you want further details, feel free to e-mail me @ fivefootgrace@webtnet. Good Luck!
