Recovery was all right. Kind of on par with what I had read from other people. First few days are very hard, second week is better than the first, etc. Pain was manageable with the meds I was prescribed, and I didn't need to take as much as I could have. Lack of mobility was a big issue - I needed help getting in and out of bed, on and off the toilet, etc. for a week or so. Frankly, I needed help with everything for a couple of weeks because I was so tired/hurting/swollen/immobile. I had full-time help (my mother) for 1.5 weeks and that was really necessary with the kids. My scar looks great - pretty even and thin, and I expect it will only get better. I won't be wearing any low-cut or string bikini bottoms, but whatever. I would definitely take the scar over the crazy belly any day. Best wishes for your surgery!
