Yes, they open you up completely. Not a lot of pain, but they should have pain killers on hand for if you do.I was in the hospital for a week, couldn't wait to get out. An intense week.

I take Klonopin for anxiety, and needed some in that first week. I would highly recommend that you research it. If you are scared, you will need something to settle you done.

I’m already on anxiety meds, I was taking them before, but now they want me to take them to keep my heart rate low, my resting heart rate is in the 40’s that scares me, but they tell me that is fine. What do you mean by an intense week. Can you text me ? 216-650-9168
