I didn't, but my mom did when I was about 10. Things have changed since then. She was in the hospital for a week. A friend had one about 4 years ago, and she was only in the hospital for 24-36 hours. I don't remember much about my mom's surgery except that she got the pain relief that she had been looking for. Good luck!!
I'm about to go beg for one. From the research I've done, it seems like a very easy procedure these days. The people I know tat have had them have definitely not turned in to big, burly men. They've all said it was the best thing they've done. Good luck!
