Did their filing. No pain meds just took Advil when needed. Took a few naps for the first 4-5 days and was great after that. There was no 6-8 weeks off unless you were milking it. BEST THING I EVER DID!!!!! Doing back flips down the tampon isle!!!!!!!

Had the same operation about 3 years ago.. Could not do lapo did the cut.. Wasn't bad. I was back to work 2 weeks later. First week was kinda hard but, the more you move the better it gets. You will not regret having it. Best thing I ever did (for myself) wish I had done it 10 years ago. But, it is done now and it is wonderful... Good luck. By Christmas you will be a happy girl. Heck by thanksgiving you will be jumping for joy..

I had a total at age 47....Everything went....I woke up sicker than a dog and cut from my navel down to my hairline.. Sicker than a dog for a while but all worked out well....

Today has been a week.......have not been sick at all (thank goodness). I am hoping in the end, everything will work out well.....I am still in a tremendous amount of pain! I am 38. I am glad everything turned out well for you!!!!

Everything turned out fine for me, but it took a few months to actually feel like myself again...I don't think I could push a vacuum cleaner for 6 weeks... I, probably like you, had to watch out for interior stitches...You have to remember that everything has been turned around and the interior of you is changed....You have days when you feel good and some when you don't...But in the end it was great...

Not having a period was the greatest...I, however, had to deal with the loss of libido....BUT, I did that too....I figured I was the same woman that I was before the operation so get back to life and love....So I did...Besides that my husband was far too good looking to give him any slack...

You will do just great....Much luck...
