Had the op on Friday and I'm now back home. Thank you to all for your good wishes. It seems to have gone very well and I'm having very little pain (in fact, haven't taken any painkillers today). Had a lot of wind though, which made me feel a bit sick yesterday. I'm hoping this is normal. Managed some ready brek and soup today, but haven't got much of an appetite (hooray!). Just going to take it easy for the next few days.
