I did and the pain for me was no more than 2 out of 10. Felt like a very light rubber band sting... 12 times. No pain after that and I could walk fine. The only aftereffects were a little blood when going to the bathroom the first few times. They do go over that with you at the clinic.
Had it removed several months later. Recovery was about 5-6 weeks and I resumed going to the gym and back to my normal weight amounts. Back to normal life 7 months after surgery. Villages Health and UF Gainsville both did a fantastic job. And since I had been lifting weights regularly for many years and kept in good shape + eating healthy that helped too.
