I surgery date is quickly approaching and I was wondering how long you guys were in the hospital for. I would also like to know if you think its possible to be out and about 4 days post-op?

 Thank you ladies, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Do the medications they give you for pain to take home help any? I am such a chicken... I am scared that it will be VERY painful...
