Trendsetter
I had my first HT in mid April with Dr. Sharon Keene in Tucson, AZ. She also works one week a month with Shapiro Medical in Minnesota.
Anyway, I can honestly say that I had no pain before, during or after the surgery. Even the shots were no big deal. Actually it went smoother than a Dental appointment. I too watched movies and dozed off a few times.
As far as HT procedures with any good surgeon, the biggest pain is probably the wallet. But it is well worth it.
You will do fine! Good luck!
