Recovery took about 2 weeks, i started to lift 6 weeks after. The worst pain believe it or not is when you try to sit up in bed, cough, or pee. Got forbid you sneeze...thats the worst, i literally blew a staple out of the incision by sneezing. Other than that just relax and take it easy, youll recover quickly
