Sounds much like my hernia surgery back in Jan. Mine got so bad before surgery that it constantly felt like I had heartburn and lifting heavy things was quite uncomfortable. If you had let it go it could have become much worse and more painful. My insicion was 3 fingerwidths below the sternum and not quite 2 inches long so I never suffered the discomfort from getting out of bed quite like you did but I did have a c-section so I know what cuts below the waistline feel like.
I feel for you. Glad you got it done. Now you'll be back to your old self faster than you think. After only a month I was itching to climb on the roof and clean the gutters and other much more active pursuits.
Good Luck.
