Answer 1

Google Versed my friend....tell them to give you plenty of Marcaine at site (long acting numbing agent ) good luck on surg.

Answer 2

i had the laparascopic (hernia) procedure some years ago, in Canada.  They gave me the option of being awake (spinal shot) to watch the procedure on a TV monitor, or being knocked out with a GA, I opted for the general anesthetic. The procedure was very successful, and recovery took about a month.
