I had surgery on Wed March 23rd. The only issue I had was with my blood pressure ( sky high!) which was weird because I don't have hypertension. I did have the shoulder pain and it was worse than I expected BUT I took Gas X strips and by the morning it was gone! I also walked quite a bit and I think the combo of the two did the trick.
I took the Lortab every 4-5 hours post op day 0 and 1. Today I have only had it once.
I was scared the day of surgery and looking back it wasn't that bad at all! Good luck to you and let us know how it goes!
PS Take a pillow with you for the car ride home. It helps to hold it against your tummy .
