I want to know peoples experience with pain after surgery. Kinda scared!!!

I had none and took myself off my pain meds 2 days after surgery.

I had very little pain afterward. I was up and walking a few hours after surgery and only used the pain meds they gave me for about a day and a half. Used liquid Tylenol for a couple of days after that. Most people I know that have had this surgery laparoscopically experienced minimal pain. One friend who had to have an open surgery experienced a bit more pain and was on pain meds for about five days.

Thanks guys. I'm so anxious I can't stand it!!! I hope my surgery date is soon!!

I have another question. I've been overweight all my life and I know that my skin has been stretched to the max! how did you deal with all the extra skin after you lost all that weight (lostinthought)?

My surgery is Monday.. Getting a little worried if I am doing the right thing..

What kind if Protein powder are you using after surgery?
