for the first few weeks, you'll need to take your time with stairs, but I managed with 3 flights. The scars are actually disappearing and my doctor said they are likely to continue diminishing with time. I was very vigilent about applying creams / lotions though.
The pain was very manageable (with medication). The thigh incisions were more painful than the abdomen and it is difficult to use the restroom for a few weeks (I hadn't really thought about that). I got a potty lift to make it easier so that I wouldn't have to bend down all the way to use the toilet. I took a week off of work and that was plenty of time.
