I had this same question! I am five days out, I remember falling asleep, and waking up with a nurse sitting with me. He asked me about my pain level, said we would get that under control (don’t remember being in pain at that point though) and then they would call my boyfriend back. During those minutes my bf was meeting with my surgeon and then he walked around the corner and I saw him for the first time. I was all smiles and totally fine. They wheeled me to my room and I took advantage of the morphine while in the hospital (no regrets about that btw...) the pain settled in once I got home and I have had some WTF have I done moments, and been emotional, but I’m really starting to feel like myself again, I’m off pain meds (2 days now) and I’m only feeling pain in my lower left incision near my belly button, which seems very common. They gave my a stomach binder that helps support my torso when I need it and minimizes the pain.

Message me if you want, I’m here for you! I’ve been right where you are.

Thank you! I'm sure I'll have more questions as it gets closer. I am ok but then at times I get terrible anxiety so that's my issue now but hearing people who have made it through the surgical process helps for sure. The hospital and surgeon I am having it at use nerve/pain blocker shots so idk if I'll have morphine but for sure if I need it I'll take it lol.
