That I've got a piece of plastic in my tummy now. Then I feel my bloated tummy and - oh, yep. I got surgery. But besides for the pain I had right out of surgery, where I was bloated from the gas (that was the worst pain, feeling like a helium balloon) I haven't had much pain. I guess I am very lucky. Anyone else surprised at your surgery, that it went well or better than hoped?

That's reassuring to hear that you feel so great. 14 days til my surgery, hope it goes as well.

Other than about a week post op I ended up popping a stitch (and that hurt like crazy) I had no pain. I had some medium discomfort when trying to get up or down from a chair the first few days post op I had nothing. No gas pain etc (I'm very lucky) and I was pleasantly surprised I did have a little emotional trouble for a few weeks with having this "thing" inside of me, but with some positive thoughts, naming him (George if you care to know) and coming to terms with it, it's been awesome!

I had a bit of pain - very little and took pain medication for about 2 days, didn't need it after that.
