I was the same. When I woke up in recovery, they asked if I was in pain. I wasn't so they didn't give me any more pain meds. Same over the next several hours. I went home with a prescription for pain meds, but never filled it and I was back at work the next day.

Other than cateract surgery, this was the easiest by far.

I cant wait to eat some mushies though !!!

I was walking around 30 mins after the OR and that evening. I didn't need any pain meds. I was also working out lightly one week later. Good job! Take it easy!

I would not say I had no pain, but I felt it was minimal. The first day I was like with did I do. But the second day was so much better only took the meds a few times and the third day I only took one dose and only because I got my period and I always get wicked cramps. I was still uncomfortable getting up for the next day or 2 but it was minimal. Compared to some people on here though I'd rate mine very low

Thanks everyone! So glad to hear that there are others out there.

I had minimal pain. Left the hospital with a prescription for Tylenol w/codeine, and barely used it. My pain/discomfort was mainly from gas. Other than that, I was up and around the next morning. I had surgery on a Friday and by the following Monday (10 days post op), I was back at the gym doing the treadmill and exercise bike with no discomfort.

No pain here either, never took a pain killer at all once I went home, not even paracetamol. I thought it was a very easy surgery.

That's great!!! I'm so glad that you're having such a wonderful experience. I had my surgery on 3/3. When I woke up I did not need the morphine and refused pain meds. They gave me a prescription for lortabs when I left the hospital, but I didn't have it filled. I have ZERO pain. CONGRATS to you and good luck!

I didn't have much pain either. I used two doses or

Liquid Lortab and two doses of Tylenol and didn't need any further pain meds. I did feel like I had been kicked around a bit but was able to sleep on my tummy on day 3. Took a bit longer to be able to bend over comfortably but it wasn't painful.
