Can anyone rate the pain from one to 10 after the surgery?

I had a tummytuck by Dr. Philip Godfrey in New York City a few years ago when I used to live up there. After having 2 kids - one thru normal delivery and one thru C-section, I would rate it this way:

Normal Delivery - 5
C-section 7
Tummytuck -7.5

My experience was that most of my pain or discomfort was not really the tummytuck incision - even though that was hip-to-hip...but it was the strain on my back from not being able to stand erect. Of course, that got better in the first week. I am more than glad to have done it. The pain and discomfort was all worth it!

Thanks, I was beginning to think no one posted reponses on this board.

had breast implants, the pain was an 8 because the surgeon had the wrap around my chest so tight I couldn't breathe as soon as he took it off two days later I was fine maybe a 2
Had ruptured implants removed had a lift. First night probably a 7 after that a 3?
