Well everyone is different but I can honestly say that I had really no pain. They sent me home with pain killer and I didnt take any of it there was no need. I am a hair dresser and stand all day I had my surgery on Tuesday August 17th was discharged from the hospital the next day and I went back to work Friday. The only discomfort was from all the gas they pump you up with but walking helps with that. Good luck and I hope all goes well!
