            Hi Scooby,

            I think this is what I had done as a part of the VATs lobectomy I had last month.  If so, I was completely asleep and did not feel a thing!

            When I woke up my throat hurt (like a sore throat) and ice and anything cold (ice cream!!) helped.  The sore throat lasted a couple of days and then was gone.  

            I was also sore in my torso, I think from the surgery staff putting me into whatever surgical yoga position was needed.  But this didn't last long either.

            Trust you'll come through this with flying colours!

            Shalom,

            Julie

                I had this done last summer. I was very nervous about the whole thing but after I came out of anesthia it wasn't bad at all. I was a little sore but nothing too big and my surgeon did a freeze stain so they pretty much had an answer before I came to. All in all, this was by far my easiest "surgical" procedure to date.
