The worst thing for me after surgery was the gas afterward. They fill you with so much air during surgery, it kind of causes pain to get back to normal. Otherwise it was a pretty easy recovery. The worst thing about getting it removed, in my opinion, is your tolerance of food. As ppl said above, your bathroom habits will def change, you have to go all the time and always after you eat. It's annoying. It's the worst right after surgery and it gets a tiny bit better after recovery.

It was my first surgery and I was extremely terrified. I went to the hospital for stomach pain and they immediately scheduled my surgery for the following day so I had no time really to prepare. Idk what med they gave me right before the surgery but it calmed me down completely and I was like "let's do this".
