Wow, thanks so much for posting pics. I definitely need a LBL and am very scared for some reason.  If I have an outcome like yours I will be VERY happy!!

Thank you! Don't be scared. It does hurt but my pain level was around a 2 - 3, very manageable,  when medicated and not moving during the first few days. As long as I didn't let my pain meds go too long I was fine. The main pain came from the ab repair and not the incision. It felt like I had done 10 million sit ups. Occasionally a small area of the incision in the front would hurt. I never even felt the bac****il yesterday (over a week out) and I think that's because it's un-numbing.

The worst part has probably been having to sleep in a recliner. I just don't sleep well that way and the doc gave me some Ambien which has helped. And the drains... you can't feel them and they don't hurt, but they're like a ball and chain. They're just there, so I have to situate them each time I sit down. Can't wait to get rid of them!

Thanks! Dr. J. Michael Morrissey in Dallas, TX. He's been great. Gave me his cell number. Even made a house call to take my drains out.
