Post-ops - unexpected things that happened during or post surgery?

Okay, I admit it, I'm nervous! But I would like to know from post-ops, were there things that happened during surgery or as part of your aftercare that you didn't expect or didn't know about? <br><br> Since you post-ops are the experts for us beginners (pre-ops), perhaps you can help us weed out those unexpected surprises that might have happened to you. <br><br> Like issues with pain management, problems with the hospital bed, loud noises, terrible roomates... <br><br> And how did you solve the situation or how would you suggest another person prevent it from happening? <br><br> Thanks for any answers. I'm slowly making my way from "hurry, hurry, I want the surgery as soon as possible" to "have I missed some answers that I haven't even thought of questions for"!
