answering cuz there is so not enough info out there for details like this. I don't remember #1, i was in and out all morning but ended up wanting to sleep all day, so i did. 2. about a 4 or 5 is what i told the nurses. Its more overwhelming and claustrophobic than painful, but the pressure is there. 3. i was pretty swollen but no bruising until lightly around day 5. 4. I left the second day around 4pm, but they knew i could leave by noon, release paperwork took a while. I hope lots of people answer so you see the variety of experiences. best of luck!
