Questions about pain meds after surgery.

Hi ya'll....I will be having a full Tummy tuck (I was told I'll lost at least 10 pounds of skin) with muscle work and breast lift Aug 5th. Can you tell me what pain meds you were on while in the hospital, and what did they send you home with ? How many days worth do they give you? How long did you need to take them ???....................................ALSO, was anyone on pain meds BEFORE plastic surgery ? Did you need to get a higher dose of pain meds to control your post op pain because you were "tollerant" to the "normal" dose?..........Can you tell me about your first few days (weeks) after surgery? Were you terribly miserable ? Were you in alot of pain ? Were you able to sleep? How long before you were able to drive ? When did you feel up to going "out" (say to the mall for a bit)...Sure would appreciate any feedback I could get :) Thanks Kim P.S. I heard you have to wear your binder 24/7....What about for bathing,,,can you take it off?
