I'm not sure about the cream question, but as for sedation you should have your options. I'm having LIS on Monday, and my surgeon said they would sedate me and give me local anesthetic (as opposed to general). I'm not sure how I feel about this... I'd rather be totally asleep! I had abdominal survey in the fall (I'm a lucky lady), and general was wonderful. I closed my eyes in the operating room and a second later opened them in recovery!
