I can honestly say I did not have pain. A bit of discomfort for two days and that is it. I was back to work two days after surgery and wasn't bothered by it at all. The discomfort was simply gas and gas x took care of it. Everyone's pain tolerance is different and we will all have our own experience. It has been a great experience for me right from the day of surgery and have no regrets at all! :thumbup: No lying here - no pain with my experience. Best of luck to you!
