I didn't have the whole miniscus removed but I did have a portion that was torn cut out. I have to say that the whole thing was simple. I was in and out of the office in a few hours and actually walked to the car afterward. I went through about 2 weeks of "weakness" but very little pain. Now, I have to look closely to even see which knee was done. I ended up with only 3 very small dot type of scars around the knee. Modern medicine is amazing.

Removing the whole miniscus would be a bigger deal but on the scale of surgeries, this one is fairly low on the list. Good luck. If nothing else, it is a good excuse to lounge around for a week or two.
