Hi!
Wow, I have have been on these boards for 2 years now and can't really remember anyone saying the pain was excrutiating!! Some have a harder time than most, but in general, most of it look at it as uncomfortable. I would say the worst part for me was having the drains removed and the constipation from surgery. I was on pain meds for the first 4 days then realized, I didn't really need them and took Tylenol for the next few days and was fine after that. I would have to say that the majority of women on here have had the same experience with pain that I had. I think it also depends on if you have lipo on the sides as some women do. But really I was just mainly uncomfortable that first week and then it got better each day with the 2nd week. Please don't let her scare you!!! Maybe she has a low pain threshold, over did it the first few days....hard to say, but I would go through it again in a minute, that is how wonderful I feel about my new girls. It literally changed my life for the better and I think a lot of women on here would agree with me. I think in those 2 years, I read one post from someone who was regretting having it done, but she had some complications and after they healed she was so glad she did it. So that is one out of hundreds. So go back and read some past posts and you find the one thing everyone agrees on - this was the best thing I have ever done for myself!!
Stay in touch and don't hesitate to post often, whenever you have a fear, question or just want to chat!!
