I had my surgery about a month before my 54th birthday. I have two children (ages 33 and 29); both were by cesarean with the cut straight up the zipper.

I'm on my 3rd day now out of surgery... Overall major pain was just the first night. Lots of swelling after the first few hours but overall everything seems very normal and easy to heal from. I have a burning sensation in the litter corner of my left breast almost on my ribs. But I'm sure it's normal. Lotsa stiffness and pain when I first wake up but I'm sleeping thru the night.

So far, the entire experience has been easy, with very little pain. I still have swelling and numbness, but the bruises are starting to go away.
