I had none and took myself off my pain meds 2 days after surgery.

I had very little pain afterward. I was up and walking a few hours after surgery and only used the pain meds they gave me for about a day and a half. Used liquid Tylenol for a couple of days after that. Most people I know that have had this surgery laparoscopically experienced minimal pain. One friend who had to have an open surgery experienced a bit more pain and was on pain meds for about five days.

I have another question. I've been overweight all my life and I know that my skin has been stretched to the max! how did you deal with all the extra skin after you lost all that weight (lostinthought)?
