answer:I have had a bunch of surgeries and my experience has been mostly uninteresting. It hurts for a while afterwards, the general anasthesia takes longer to get over as you get older (mostly in the form of being not as astute for weeks up to a couple of months, usually not noticeable to most) and you need to not push yourself too hard or you’ll set back the healing. That’s for knife surgery, I can’t speak to laser procedures. And all of mine were for internal (organ) issues, I don’t know what surgery for bones and/or joints is like. And there are fun drugs. I hope it goes well, you heal quickly, and it fixes what’s broken. Good luck!
