Bruinfan. The pain is really only bad on day one. Day 3-4 you should be back to normal. Def make sure to get some gas x. That gas pain can be rough. I'm so glad I did the surgery. I almost backed out the day before but I didn't. Best of luck to u

Hello everyone So I had my surgery and it went very well. I had a bit more pain than I thought I would first day but everyday I am getting better. My doctor is dr Joseph naim. If anyone is considering this you def need to look him up. Absolutely amazing doctor. I am finding it a little difficult to drink as it seems very tight and kinda like heart burn but it seems to be getting better today. Hopefully in a few more days it will be even better. Congrats hopefullyhappy I'm glad to hear ur surgery went well. Def gonna be a great journey
