Recovery after Implant exchange/Hysterectomy.

I am having surgery for implant exchange/ nipple reconstruction next week. I will stay in the hospital as I am also having an open abdominal hysterectomy at the same time. My mom is coming to help me.

I thought I would ask about each surgery separate and ask if anyone had any advice.

Can you share your experience about what your post recovery was like?

Did you sleep in a bra and if so is there one you would recommend?

How long before I will be driving etc? I want to let my mom know how long she should stay.

Did your doctor give you pain meds? I am hoping this surgery is much easier than my double mastectomy with TE's

Thanks in advance. I searched for threads but couldn't find one.
