I had both done at the same time. There wasn't a lot of pain, really, but a lot of discomfort. I was on perocets for a few weeks. There was a complication but I'm fine now. The incesion opened on my back and I had to stay out of work for an extra month. This all happened back in October of 2002. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but definitely don't push yourself to hurry back to work.

I had both together and got through it but it was rough. The drain tubes (4 of them) about drove me crazy! Going to the bathroom was the roughest part, you feel like your gonna split wide open. It's barely been 3 months and it seems like forever ago, I'd do it again cause it has made all the difference. Be strong, you'll be fine.
