I am nervous about the pain after. Where I get the garment to wear? Am I making the right choice. What can I do minimize pain and accelerate healing. I need to be back to work after two weeks. :(
I hope to have flat stomach flaps from my back to be gone.
But everything I read about the pain has me concerned. I don't want to get hooked on pain killers after the surgery.
Great review?

Welcome to the community:)
Try to stay calm and don't let the pain part of the recovery scare you. Yes it's true you will have pain but the meds will help control this. And please don't be afraid of taking them. You need pain control in order to heal properly. You will not get addicted. Trust me you will be glad to get off them quickly.
The first week is the tough time but things do get easier each week. Everything you go through is worth the results you obtain. You can do this and will love how you look and feel once healed.
You are not able to accelerate healing. But if you rest, and pamper yourself that really helps. So many women try to do too much and so quickly. That is not good!!! You need to chill and be a good patient.
If anyone asks just tell them hernia and muscle repair.
