I guess I thought it would be an office procedure. I needed a pre-op and went to a same-day specialty surgery center. I had the type of anesthesia they use for a colonoscopy. I had to fast all day for a 2:30 procedure. My regular opthamologist didn’t do this so was referred to an opthamolic specialty surgeon. (They seemed to do eyelid lifts and other eye related plastic surgery.

I also went to an ophthalmologist who specializes in this procedure. I was really scared as I am a chicken. I only got a local. Turns out that, for me, it was an easy procedure.

A vascular surgeon did my biopsy. I had it done on a Friday. The results were in the following Monday.
