Of course in the hospital they have good drugs so that was awesome. The ride home was the worst part but was bearable. After several days it just felt like I'd done a lot of sit ups.

The ride home was the worst part but was bearable. After several days it just felt like I'd done a lot of sit ups. I agree. I barely had any pain and wished I had done it long ago. I didn't need anything more than Tylenol. Everyone is different and if you have never had surgery before I'm sure it seem awful. I've had 4 abdominal surgeries and for me this was easy... Back to work 2 weeks. Take the meds if you need them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
