I just had my surgery yesterday and have only some discomfort at the port site, not really any pain. No gas, either. The anesthesiology is important, of course, the skill of the dr. essential. My throat is a little sore from the intubation, but not anything serious, and I am a real wimp. The main worry about the post anesthesia is nausea, and my dr. prescribed emmend prior to surgery and a scopamine patch and compazine after surgery...so NO nausea.

All in all, this was entirely tolerable, and I am only 18 hrs. post surgery. Good luck and I hope my experience helps mitigate your worries.
