Depending on the extent of the surgery, Dr. Simon will probably put you on a PCA pump (patient controlled analgesia) to control your pain while you are in the hospital.  The nursing staff will do everything possible to assist in the management of your pain. When are you having your surgery so I can keep an eye out for you?
