I had mine out last January the surgery wasn't bad but i'm not gonna lie it does hurt after mostly like really bad gas pain it's from the air they pump into you during the surgery but after that first day it will subside and you will just be tender. The scars are tiny not noticeable at all and recovery is super fast like 2-3 days. I had some complications from mine but it is rare. Trust me if you had pain like i did before i got it out it's worth anypain to get rid of it. Before i got mine out everytime i had an attack i thought i was seriously dying it was so painful i couln'd even move. I have a few phantom pains but it doesn't bother me. Also you do have to becarful what you eat after because you will get serious diareah if you eat to much fat or grease. good luck it's worth it if you have pain and stones. If you need anything please let me know |
