    I haven't had THAT surgery - but a tip from someone who has had more than one trip under the knife - is

    STAY AHEAD OF THE PAIN. There are no medals for toughing it out. If they ask if it hurts - be honest and take the pain meds. Especially the first few days. I'm not saying become a pain pill addict - but they do prescribe the meds for a couple weeks - and it doesn't hurt to take them - especially while you are still in the hospital and the first few days. You'll feel much better if you do - starting as soon as you wake up.

    Good luck
