People take the surgery differently. Many people have the ability to eat the next day and have no swelling. Some people get all swolen and can't eat solid food for a week. It's best to plan for the time away and come back early if it's possible.
I've seen people that don't do well with pain come out of the surgery with no problems, and I've seen people who are tough guys be taken out for a while. It's not about being a puss or something like that.
