What you are both feeling is quite normal, like fairydust said you really don't know much about the operation, i am 4 days post op, and yes it has not been plain sailing for me, due to becoming dehydrated and not keeping on top of my pain meds, i had to be re-addmitted, but this was down to me getting things right, feeling much better than i did and on the road to recovery, plus i'm 11lbs down already, that has to be a bonus, haha!
take care
