Hi, yes I had this surgery and I was in and out in the same day. The main thing was to take care of the recovery, to do the exercises and avoid getting an infection. There was some pain after surgery, but it was manageable and I was up and about again in a few days. Best wishes

I hope it went well and not too painful. My nurse said it was very important to do the exercises, they gave me a leaflet, so might be worth asking about this. Hope you recovery is quick, best wishes
