Hii.sooo I haven't actually done the surgery yet, but I went in for my consultation and it went reallyyy well. I'm nervous. I live at home with parents still and they CANNOT know about this, so I'm worried about the first 3 days. Will I be in obvious pain? Help somebody. I need to get this done asap

The first three days are BRUTAL. Unless you lock yourself away, they'll know. I have a high tolerance for pain and let me tell you, I was BROKEN DOWN. You should stay somewhere for the first 2 days at least

Don't be scared. You should just be prepared. This isn't something you can hide. Do you have a friend to help?

Yikes I'd be afraid to try and hide having surgery- how would you get to and from the surgery center?  Could you stay with a friend or at a nearby hotel?

I have a friend that's going to pick me up and drop me off.i also have my sister which will be taking care of me. The doctor said since i don't need much work done, I'll be in pain probabllyy a few hours after surgery.ill be able to go to work the day after if I wanted to.which I won't, but it's nice to know lol

I guess worst case scenario your parents figure it out.  Everyone's recovery is different so if you think you can handle it and keep everything on the DL I'm sure you will be fine.  :)

They'll know. The doctors say you'll be up the next day, but it's not true. You'll definitely, absolutely need help... and it will be really obvious something is "wrong" with you. You can't pretend it's just from a gym work-out. It's not terrible pain, you simply won't be able to function normally or play it off like it's just a cold or pulled muscle. Don't be scared about the procedure. They'll prescribe meds to ease the pain (which I found was not bad), but the meds and shock your body will experience will cause you to be dizzy/unstable. If you can find a friend to stay with, you should. You'll need help.

So I just got it done and surprisingly I feel completely ok.after the surgery I went to grab a bite to eat at chipotle.i was EXTREMELY SLEEPY after so I went home n took a nap.i just wokeup with some pain, but not tooo bad, just sore like I've been doing ab workouts lol.
My stomach is making these weird noises like I'm hungry or something so I ate a banana.i can get up n walk n go up n down stairs normally.its painful, but I can handle it.in wearing a garmet with some foam and maxi pads under for draining.i love my garmet it makes me feel skinny, I was scared it'll be uncomfortable, but I don't mind wearing it for 6 wks.ill keep you guys posted on tomorow! Oh n I'll show pics of my before :]
