I'm having my surgery with Dr Nick at Forest Park in Dallas Tuesday 2/26 and I was reading in my surgery packet from my surgeon that they could keep me in the recovery room for up to 4 hours. My husband and mom will be up there and I don't want them to have to sit and wait for forever to be able to see me. If anyone's had surgery at Forest Park...how long we're you in recovery and did any of your family members get to sit with you while you were waiting to be transferred to your room?

I was at Forrest park in sept. it was a great facility with great care. My husband came with me for the surgery , they do a wonderful job of communicating with your family with a digital patient information board in the lobby and pagers. I don't know how long I was in recovery but the assistant went and told my husband when he should leave to go eat and what time he should come back to check in. There is a Whataburger right next door they can go eat. Hope that helps.
