Alwayslivelaughlove, I replied to your message earlier so I hope you got it, but I will post my answer here too. Except for the gas, I have no real post op pain. I have not taken any pain meds since bedtime, and have taken lisa's advice and got up and moving around. Just remember people experience pain differently, but hopefully this helps alleviate some of your worry about post-op pain. I could probably go back to work, but I will take the week of paid sick leave!! Best of luck on your surgery!!
