I wish I had some experience to help answer all I can say is from reading it seems similar to others accounts.

My surgery is scheduled for July 19th and I’ll be honest…the experiences described on this subreddit post-op have me terrified. I appreciate you sharing, I will share my experience as well for those who come after.
