01gentdc- The first time. My Doc started out trying to do the lapo but had to cut me from bottom of Sternum to top of groin. As for pain....1st day was mostly getting over the anesthesia. From there, I recouped pretty fast. The worst part for me was when I had to cough. That HURT. But, I found out, grab a pillow and hold it tight against your belly(as hard as you can), then cough.
Buy some Depends. That way you won't be rushed to get out of bed to make it to the toilet. If you happen to have an accident, at least the depends will protect soiling bed, floor, carpet, clothes, walls!...LOL!
In three weeks, I was back on my tractor and taking it easy and slow.
I also found that buying on of those things you wrap around your waist with velcro ends(to support your back while lifting) helped a lot. I didn't exert a lot of pressure on the staples with my guts pushing out. It just a way to lessen the chances of pain or popping a staple.
Take it easy and don't try to exert yourself too hard and you will do fine.
If they take your entire Colon out like me (second surgery), then that will be another whole lot of suggestions and what to expect
Please keep me updated and I'll try to assist in any way.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
