I had the surgery in 2003 and went from falling out of a 38D to a comfortable C. I have to tell you that it was the best decision I ever made! I have scars as well but they are hardly noticeable. My surgeon offered me a couple of turns with the laser machine (they use it on the scaring to help reduce it) and I also put Vitamin E oil on the scars. I wasn't able to sleep in my bed so I crashed on my mom's couch and let her and my boyfriend take care of me. I was out of commission for about a week. I too had limited arm movement and sharp pains but when I told the doctor he said that the sharp pains were just my muscles and stuff going back. The doctor actually told me that once the stitches were out I should soak in the tub to help relax the muscles and I did so. I would totally advise that to you. The only time I had any trouble was when I went back to get the drainage tubes taken out. I passed out as soon as I was walked in the door and was wheeled to the back. I would STRONGLY advise that you have someone take care of you and take you to the doctor.
I wouldn't worry about being put to sleep that's actually the best sleep you will ever get! Good luck!
