HoLEP procedure experiences?

Would anyone be willing to share their experience after HoLEP - I have mine scheduled for next month. It sounds like the procedure is one morning, get the catheter out the next morning, stay in the area for another 24 hours, then head home. Some of the things I wondering are: How soon after did you return to work? (I basically have a desk job...) What was the pain level like? Did you have to "re-learn" how to urinate? Any pointers? Thanks in advance!

Second hand experience: I had a visit yesterday with an orthopedic doctor for a shoulder question and during our discussions, he mentioned that he had an extremely successful Holep for a very large prostate and was very pleased with the outcome.
