I had four c-sections. This recovery is much easier to me anyway. Recovery for me was really pretty easy. You just have to be smart. I am in my fourth week after surgery. I did take a week off before returning to work.
1 week was a tad rough for me. But I had issues with dehydration. I Got alot better after that. I think I felt close to 100% by week 4. I stopped taking pain meds on day 6 post op.
I had 5 incisions and I had almost no pain after surgery. In fact, the nurses were in disbelief that I didn't want any pain meds! I was up, around and walking before I was even settled into my room. I had had my ovary removed in 2011 and that was the worst surgery I had....I couldn't move or sleep and was in so much pain but this was so much different! I went in expecting to be in a lot of pain and was pleasantly surprised at how painless it was. I did take almost a month off of work because I was so tired and it took me a while to get used to my eating schedule, but not for pain reasons.
