I have a sling and it wasn't bad at all. Mine was done vaginally and as I recall, I spent two nights in the hospital and had to avoid lifting for several weeks.

I had the Monarc Hammock (urethral sling) placed 2 years ago. It was a quick 20 minute procedure with very little post-op discomfort. Initial healing time was 2 weeks with full healing around 3 months.
good luck
