No reason to freak! 1.5 hour surgery 1 hour in recovery room. I recall being "awake" when they were making me slide to my room bed! But slept a lot after. No pain unless I cough or sneeze. They are very itchy today! I took Tylenol with me. I only used the pain meds the first day after released. It's gross! Sublingual under the tongue! Tylenol worked just as good.

The broth at hotel is very bland. Take some powder mix with you. The hospital cafe broth is delicious. I took several bowls back to hotel. TAKE band aids with you & medical tape for changing your dressings. The tape mi doctor hospital uses is HORRIBLE. Alcohol wipes too are handy.

I am sitting in San Diego airport as we speak. Had my surgery Monday the 21st and feel great. You will meet people from everywhere. Eat your meal in the restaurant to meet people even if it's just broth. That's were we meet everyone. FYI- if you go on the tour to revolution street...it can be very overwhelming. I just ate some super liquidy oatmeal and I am good. WALK WALK WALK and then WALK some more! Ask me if you have more questions.

I will have surgery with Lopez on May 19

I am excited and nervous. My husband is traveling with me. Where do they wait? Are they allowed with us in our room anytime? Really nervous about that. Lots of what if's.

Will someone that was at Mi Doctor under Dr Lopez give me details in where your spouse is during all of the surgery and recovery? Do they let them stay with you most of the time?

Mayra, I am scheduled with Dr Lopez May 19th, I'll let you know how things are there when I get back.Lenae I will be there for my surgery on May 20th. Are you taking someone with you?
