My pain wasn't too bad after the surgery, well, not the actual incision. I was really sore from laying in one spot in the bed for a few days, and sleeping was a little difficult that first week. I slept in a recliner for the first few nights home from the hospital, as our bed is a little high and I could launch my fat butt up into it for fear of ripping my stitches! I took Lor Tab for pain, but a couple of days after I got home, I just used Tylenol. I thought it was going to be way worse than it was--more of a discomfort than actual pain. I was more worried about the Heparin shots I had to give myself afterward than the pain from the surgery. All pain was gone after about a week.
Good Luck with your surgery!
