They make you get up and walk within hours of the surgery and kick you out of the hospital in a hurry, but the pain continues for quite awhile. Weeks or even a few months. It's not the most horrific surgery, and the scar shouldn't be too big or ugly with modern techniques (it would cross the whole abdomen a few years ago), but it's not the cakewalk some people will say that it is.
