Hi, Just be ready. get all your food prior to surgery. I lived on crystal light the firsttwo days. It hurt a lot more than I thought but after a few days I felt better. Drove after a week (should probally waited 10 days) 2 weeks out I feel fine minor pain. I found I lived in night gowns for the first couple days. It was easier to go to the bathroom and not have to bend over to pull on jammie pants. Make sure you have a comfy spot with the phone, remote, and a drink with in reaching disatnce. Good Luck!
