Thanks for the response and link.
I wasn’t asking about radiation since I have my RARP scheduled but have never had any surgery before so the biopsy was the first experience of any type I had and was fine after a day and read people saying they were ok and or functional a couple of days after their procedures so was simply looking for a comparison of the immediate recovery experiences to mentally prepare. Thanks Again for taking the time to respond, it’s appreciated!

Four days after my surgery, I was out at clients offices, where I was doing Computer consulting. I didn’t do any lifting, just sitting down at a few computers for a few minutes to fix problems. Had to have the catheter for two weeks and it was uncomfortable, but nobody noticed I was wearing it and I didn’t tell anybody in the offices I went to that I had surgery a few days before.
As others have said Tylenol is all you need after surgery. While it is major surgery they do it laparoscopically with only a few holes in your body. You do feel pretty crummy for a couple of days but then you get over it and it’s just a matter of finishing the recovery, which sort of ends when they take the catheter out.
