Post surgery, how was the pain for you?

I have surgery coming up soon and want to know from those who have gotten the surgery how the pain was for you, also:

• How is your pain tolerance?
• How long did you take off work?
• How long until the pain started to subside?
• When were you able to finally able to take off the bandages?
• What things helped you manage with recovery?
• What exact surgery did you have done? fat grafting or implants etc.

Also any other information you think is helpful would be great :)
