I had mine taken out the week before last. Not that bad really, you just can't eat a whole lot of things for a few days. They put me under as well, first with laughing gas and then the i-v put me to sleep. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in our van all groggy from the surgery. After that first day though, its not that bad. Especially when they give you extra strength vicodin to stop the pain lol.
