It was not that bad for me. They put you completely a sleep and when you
wake up you go home with pain medication. I slept most of the day and most
of the night. I only took of a couple of days. But, I was sore for awhile
after the procedure. They had two cut me below the belly button to get to
some of my adhesions that is way I was more sore than anything. So it is
different for everyone.
Good Luck,
Sharon
