It was a really simple surgery. They don't put you under like they do when getting it inserted. My doc just gave me a local, cut me about 1.5 inches, and then popped it out. Easy peasy. I asked to look at it b/c I was curious. It just looked like a large tadpole!

And there really isn't much pain afterwards, either. I had some serious pain for a few days when they put it in b/c they have to push and pull on the muscle, but no pain really after it came out. I don't think I even took a Tylenol.

ETA: It is funny that someone posted on this thread today. I have my colonoscopy tomorrow...so I going through the "prep" right now. sucks ass. no pun intended.

I was told you could leave them in...but SO good to know it is a far less invasive procedure having it removed! PHEW!!

Positive thoughts for tomorrow's "butt T.V." Oh, how I loathe bowl prepping!
