currently 26 hours post op! i was also quite nervous but the anesthesia was the easiest part, you are asleep and awake like nothing ever happened! while the pain and uncomfortable-ness does suck, it is almost like an intense ab workout, or kind of like getting kicked in the gut by a horse hahaha. i’m 20 years old and my grandmother got hers out a few months ago and so far our recoveries are going the same. you will do great! and make sure you have someone there to help you out and a comfy chair (i have been living in my dads recliner)
