Easier surgery I ever had. You'll be fine.

I haven't had surgery yet but I understand your question -- basically you are asking if it is so painful you feel like you want to die, right? I've spoken to many people and with pain meds for a few days it seems to be tolerable. Does that help?

The pain I felt came from the leftover gas in my torso. It was VERY uncomfortable, but I've been in worse pain before. And the pain meds wiped the pain right out. Just remember to get up and walk as much as you can, it really helps move the gas out of your system. In 6 months you'll be telling everyone that it was worth every bit of it! B)

This is me, minutes after surgery:

I had no pain. Seriously I've had worse menstruation cramps. I also experienced no gas, constipation or nausea. I was up and walking in recovery and felt great.

I stopped using the pain meds the same day as the surgery. They made me want to vomit (both dalaudid and morphine) and I wasn't in pain anyhow.
