he did amazing! we got him up at 5:15 am to leave and he woke up with a sweet smile and a hug as usual. i think he is going to be a morning person. the surgery was only about 40 minutes and he was completely knocked out. i felt bad for laughing but he was in freak out mode when he started coming out of the anesthesia and it was funny for some reason. i laughed again that night when he very sadly said, "wee, wee hurt!" don't get me wrong, i felt awful for him but apparently i laugh instead of cry. he was a little more clingy and winy than normal but for the most part pretty smooth sailing. i no longer have to hog tie him or painfully endure his crocodile tears and sobs as i change his diaper. i'd say we are doing pretty good.

Just read your post and wanted to say that you made a smart choice circumcising, it is cleaner and healthier for boys. After doing a lot of research, I had my son circumcised and I am very glad that I did.
Its good you found the problem early, because I know if boys aren't done at birth its pretty common for them to need to be circumcised later in life. My brother needed to be circumcised later in life and I don't want to risk putting my son through that. Plus, I have yet to meet a single man that wasn't happy to be circumcised, but a lot of uncircumcised guys seem to wish they had been snipped.
I have done a lot of research on circumcision and thought you might find these links helpful:
