So glad everything went good.  I didn't have much pain, i was just sore. and you will be for a while.  I just took my pain meds and sleep for 4 days.  God Bless and take care.

you will probably feel a lot better in a few days.  i only hurt for about 2 days and then was sore for a few days more. good luck to you. vick

Welcome to the losers bench Melissa! Glad all is well! I was really sore the first 3 days. Then for the next 3 or so, I was pretty tender, but much more tolorable. After that it just got better and better every day. I think after the first 6 days I only hurt for the most part going from one position to another, like standing to sitting of to laying or getting up from sitting or laying. Won't be long, and you will feel muchly better! Get lots of rest, get in all the meals and supplements your surgeon has you taking, and sip sip sip your water. Take tiny little walks as it prevents clotting and also helps to get the air out of your tummy. But start out with several tiny walks each day, like from one end of the house to the other.
Congrats on your surgery! ask any questions you have! Keep us posted on your progress!
Hugs!

Melissa Welcome to the losers bench!!! I was in pain for the first 3-4 days due to gas that had settled around my shoulder blades - compared to that the pain from the actual surgery was a piece of cake!! I was tender and had problems getting up and sitting down (as on the potty) or in a chair - could not bend over or contemplate squatting for about a week or two.

Keep us updated on your progress and remember if you have ANY questions please ask!!
