Oh ouch! I had an ovary rupture (ah, well, it's back together for the most part now...) so that's my surgery experience. Getting cut open anywhere in the ab area isn't cool. I never realized how used those muscles are until every bit of them hurt :) Definetly a good idea to be in good shape before hand. And, even if it sucks a lot, get up and moving as quick as you can. I did a lot of walking (and I so damned the nurse to hell who woke me up that first morning and made me walk down the hallway...) but it helps in the long run. The pain'll go away a lot faster if you get blood circulating and muscles moving.
