I didn't and they are being way more supportive now that it is done, I think they were just scared
And they have every right to be! You had MAJOR surgery. We tend to think that it isn't major because we leave the hospital fairly quickly, but really, it is major. I remember wondering out loud to my friend, who is a nurse, why I was so incredibly sore about 5 days after surgery and she said to me..."THEY REARRANGED YOUR ORGANS TO GET TO YOUR STOMACH, which they then CUT and threw part of it away. I'm surprised you are up and walking!" (Yes, my tummy area was sore, not really painful, but just like I had gotten punched, or something.)
Anyway, I hope you are doing better today!

Yeah it is major surgery but to be healthy is a better thing and the pain will subside
