I had my surgery on Jan 22 and it will be 3 weeks post-surgery tommorrow. I had my surgery on a Thursday and my husband had to drive me to the Drs office for an appt on the following Monday. I was still uncomfortable and not able to drive. The very next day I finally did some driving. I would have someone with you for at least the 3 days after surgery. I had 3 C-sections and the pain was worse than those procedures, but just keep up with your pain medicine and you finally start feeling better gradually. I went to work yesterday - I'm still not moving around as usual but I'm wearing a girdle and a binder - you feel you are in a corset. It will just take time. You need to make meals ahead of time or have the person taking care of you to worry about that. I rented a lot of videos - don't get comedies because you don't want to be laughing too much as it hurts - and watched a lot of TV. But I'm glad I had it done - it's totally changed my appearance and my pants already fit better, even with the binder!! Good luck!
