It's been 48 hours since surgery and I feel rather good right now. I had alot of pain w/ gas until last night when the seal finally broke at 1:30 am. I thought was never going to happen. The first night in the hospital I didn't sleep at all. So I made good use of the time walking around the post surgical floor and sitting in the comfortable waiting room watching TV. Tommorow I will start driving again and get back into a semi routine until I go back to work on the 7th. I hope everyone else is feeling much better and are happy with the decision they made.

How bad does it hurt to get it out?

Did anyone have a Catheter in when they woke up? That bothers me more than the surgery.
