The only difficult part is that there are stitches in your perineum and sitting down is quite painful For a week or two. I resolved that problem by rolling up a thick towel, shaping it into a U and sitting down without my perineum being touched.
For a couple of days after the surgery, it could be painful at times, I did take a 5 mg oxycodone on two days, Just one pill in the morning. After that all I needed was acetaminophen. It was more than it was stinging than it was painful when I took the Oxycodone, I guess that’s a type of pain.
They also open up the stomach, maybe 2 inches wide stitched opening. That never really bothered me, No pain from it. Maybe Because I was taking acetaminophen.
They will usually like to wait about six weeks before they activate the device. My case was activated in five weeks since I recovered so quickly.

Thank you: it is good to know the pain is manageable with meds.
On this or another chat session several weeks ago, I remember someone mentioning pain for hours while standing. If I can locate the post, I plan to follow up with him and try to find out how his unbearable and almost constant pain was resolved.
