Glad your surgery went well. It took my gut sixteen days to "wake up" after surgery, I only took pain meds for the first two. It seemed like the only thing helped me was to walk if I started hurting, so I walked a lot, at all hours of the day and night...So keep walking, it really does help...good luck!
