Hi there, I'm new to this....my Surgery is next Friday -- I am nervous for the pain during the recovery. How much pain are people in in the days following the surgery? I am planning on bringing my laptop and working from the hotel here and there the following week, 3 days after the surgery -- will that even be possible? Any insights on how days 1, 2, 3, and 4 were would be greatly appreciated. I am beyond excited for the new chapter afterwards, but am just trying to anticipate what to expect. Thanks for any experiences.

Thank you all so much for this info -- it's helping me cope with some major pre op nerves. I've had several laparoscopic procedures in the past, but this one is really making me nervous....and I'm finding I'm super emotional pre op!! Did anyone else experience crazy emotions prior to the surgery? I definitely have excitement, but also just a lot of emotion.
