I had the EXACT same thing a couple years ago. I must have vomited at least 5 times.

You are fine. It's going to be 1 small scar near your right hip, 1 small scar right at or above your pelvis and a 3/4" slit in your belly button.

You can't eat for 24 hours after surgery, get to eat hospital food. The next day is the worst because everything wears off and you feel all the pain from every muscle being sore.

All good though. You will be back and moving in 1.5 weeks or so.

Good luck bro! It really isn't that bad, it happened to me 1.5 years ago. You should be in there for less then 24hrs, then you won't be able to lift more then 40lbs for two weeks. Let us know how it goes.

Yours was Laparoscopic, they cut me open, I have a scar on my stomach about 2.5" long. It does hurt like a bitch after those meds wear off!

Woke up with a weird heart beat and extreme pain, the pain was from me not being able to swallow was from the breathing tube. Made me puke which made it hurt like hell. Doing good now, just hella tired.

Hope everything goes well Dana. I had my appendix removed about 5 yrs ago. I was driving back from a Las Vegas car show when my pain first started. Went about 72hrs before finally visiting a doctor. Probably one of the worst pains I ever felt. After surgery was done I felt almost no pain. The 3 holes they cut in me were so small you can barely even see a scar. Overall very easy going recovery. Good luck!

My doctor was old school so I have a 2 inch. It in my side instead of the 3 cuts, no biggie. it's bruised and I fell asleep and the pain has over come the drugs so it's achey.
