How long does pain last...

[Positive44 103]

My doctor of course said everyone is different, but I should be off from work maybe 3 or 4 days. Anyone experience an easy recovery??

My pain lasted 6 days or so. Only one of my incisions hurt though, the one to the left of my belly button. The tired feeling, no energy for me was worse than the pain. I should've taken 2 weeks off to have the energy to last a full day.

I didn't tell anyone at work... Planning on calling in each day as needed. Gosh, I pray I'm able to walk around without pain after the first few days.

I agree the pain only lasted a few days for me, but it took me 3 weeks to get my strength back.

That is exactly what I did and it worked out fine. Told my boss I had a stomach bug and was back to work the next week. I was still sore, but I have a desk job and it was totally do-able. I will be honest though, I was panicking the first 2-3 days after surgery because I was so nauseated and weak. But it quickly got better after the 3rd day.

Glad I'm not the only one keeping my work out of my personal life. Thank you for sharing!
