I had mine done around a year and a half ago. I was in a moderate amount of pain that day/night and stayed in bed most of the next day, it wasn't terribly painful but if u were to over do it, it would be a different story I think.

Honestly if I were you I'd be looking for someone to give u a hand with the kids at least for the day after the surgery.

I was back to normal within about 3 days
