Hi Anne3,

Welcome! My procedure was with minimal pain, I was sore at the port site for about 5 days but the pain was relieved with tylenol. I was discharged from the hospital with pain medication that I took for the first 3 days then switched to the tylenol. I am already back at work.

Good luck on your journey - keep in touch!

There is minimal pain. I know this takes about 4 days and then you feel better. I just had my operation yesterday and I am already writing messages.

Good luck!!
