Here are some ...: You need to follow preoperative instructions such as NPO for anesthesia safety and wash the body and surgical site thoroughly with no shaving. Then, follow instruction to check in and proceeding to OR. After surgery, you expect postop pain like that after inguinal hernia repair, which is worst in 1-2 days, but controllable with pain med. More? Ask the surgeon for details.
