Check out my LIS recovery diary. I'm 36 and had LIS in august. I might be a rarity but I never needed a pain pill after surgery the whole time. I was just a bit sore but honestly it was a super easy recovery. Just saying, don't assume the worst. I was one of those people who went to a bbq 4 days post op and back to work (able to work standing up if I wanted) 6 days post op.
I'm still having issues with random bleeding about once a week when I have a BM so I don't know what the issue is. I wish I could say I was in the clear. But hopefully it'll ease your mind to note that I've had: No pain, no incontinence.
Everyone has leakage for weeks after while the incision is still open. I'd recommend buying adult diapers on amazon. They're very thin so no one will notice. I wore those for about a month. Best of luck!
