Got approved for plastic...someone who has done it please tell me how painful???

So i am 18 months out and down 120 pounds and feel great of course! I got approved for plastic surgery to remove this nasty extra skin that I am carrying on my stomach. I have heard people say that the pain and recovery is worse than the bypass. I had some complications with infection on the bypass and even with that I would do it AGAIN!!! For those of you who have done it how bad is the pain? The DR said 10 days out of work is that realistic. (i sit for my jobs) Suggestions on what helped you get thru it and if you would do it again would be appreciated. I am really nervous but young (33) and I want to move forward with the rest of my life and not carry this reminder and excess skin of my constant weight battle!
