I had LASIK done as well, but my experience was incredibly painful. That is to say I was semi-freaking out during the actual procedure (I should note that I'm a huge wimp and had problems putting and taking out contact lenses - I have some phobia with stuff touching my eyes). Then I had a lot of trouble falling asleep because I found the pain to be really bad (It felt like my eyeballs were on fire)....but then the next day comes and it really is like magic and my vision has been great ever since. Mine also came out to about 4k with lifetime adjustments/guarantee.
