Well, I have pain from the surgery and how is it managed? Typically these keyhole laparoscopic surgeries don't create that much pain because the cuts are very small. So more than pain, one might feel bloated and might have a bit of nausea, but certainly one is well enough to get up and walk around almost immediately after surgery. If you do have pain, let the nursing team or the ward team know and they will be able to give you painkillers to reduce and improve the pain.
