I went through the same surgery 4 weeks ago. My fear was more painful than the surgery. I promise it will be ok. Obviously it will suck trying to get in and out of bed and sit up, etc. I had zero lower abdomen pain from where they removed the organs and lymph nodes. Most of my discomfort was in my incisions, the one above the belly button and the one to the right of it, totally bearable. I only took Tylenol and Advil the first few days be honest with your care team about how you’re feeling and they will do everything possible to make you comfortable.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is helpful to know how others did with the surgery. I am hopeful I will also only need Tylenol and Advil. Have you returned to work yet (if you are working)?

@sbryant I appreciate your way with words "My fear was more painful than the surgery".
