I am scheduled to have surgery on Dec.20 (the day before my 48th bday). I am very nervous. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can offer some advice as to what to expect after the surgery. Doc says I will stay overnight after surgery and go home the next day.

Yes i had it ----overnight stay for me day after surgery was a blessing---before surgery was in so much pain and I was parlyzed on right side ....couldnt use my hand or arm ---it was like someone plugged me back in after surgery. The pain was minimal for me ---maybe because the pre-surgery pain was so bad. I never slept for almost a month prior to surgery to due to pain. I had a mild sore throat went aways in 2days. Things you will need is straws,soft foods, pudding,soup, but I ate fine the next day. Mainly u need to take it easy ...main issues was I was easily exhaused just taking a shower. Boredom will come into play. The one major thing I will stress is dont fear it ----I wasted so much time reading horrible stories --2 yrs later no regrets in same age as you ---and I feel this surgery gave me my life back.
