LiseSeattle 0 Posted April 20, 2008 For me, it was a breeze - probably because I was expecting so much worse. The worst part was the IV needle. But - I was out of the hospital and on the computer within 2 hours after I left the hospital. the only pain I had was when I was laying down and needed to sit up, slight pain when burping, laughing, sneezing - anything that required use of my stomach muscles (which I didn't know I had until surgery). All of the pain was completely gone after about 7 days. You can read about my entire experience via my blog (link below in my sig). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whaletail 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Guess it appears that everyone is different!!!! I'm post op 4 days and still pretty sore in my port area. It's not completely unbearable, but it will make you stop and slow down a second every now and then, but hopefully you're one of those people who will be at Walmart shopping the next day, wish I could have!!!!!!
