Got ny surgery time today...

My surgery is at 1:15 pm on the 17th. I have to be there at 11:45. Not sure how I feel about such a late in the day surgery. I don't know why it bothers me.

Can anyone offer up any advantages of an afternoon surgery that I'm not thinking of? I don't know if I'm just getting nervous or what.

Congrats on your surgery date, only a week away! In terms of the surgery, I'd say the earlier the better so the surgeon isn't as tired. 1:15pm isn't so late in the day, I think. I'd be more worried being the last one of the day!

Surgeons are used to long surgeries. Mine is also an orthopedic surgeon and has done surgeries that have lasted many hours. I'm not worried about her being tired. I don't think you should either. They break in between. We aren't filed in like cattle to the slaughter. Plus yours may even be one that takes a noon lunch break. Some do.

At first I wanted an early surgery Bc I didn't wanna dwell on the surgery for too long before it's done. But I live 3 hrs away, so if mine ends up being later on in the day I'm good with that too.

You'll do great and u have us here for support.
