Ask the doctor: Your surgeon is the best resource here.

Mild pain: You can expect to stay in the hospital 24-48 at most, without any issues. There will be mild to moderate groin pain, usually very little abdominal pain. There may be some swelling under the incisions in the groin. You will need annual or bi-annual follow up studies to evaluate the graft repair for life.
