Hi and welcome to HCM,

Nothing to worry.

There is usually minimal pain associated with this operation. The abdomen will be sore as well as the small incision sites. It will disappear on its own. When you are discharged home you will be given a pain medication to take if necessary. The first few days you may want to take the pain medication so that you will be more comfortable. As you become more active the amount of pain medication needed should decrease quickly.

Bumps could be due to some infection, can be treated easily with meds.

Thanks for writing into us.

Wish you speedy recovery
