      Sorry you had a rough night. Hope its better from here. I think I may bring pre written index cards with me if I elect surgery in MX. To help with the language barrier.

      Maybe the Spanish translation of pain medication would help? Medicamentos para el dolor (Medic-ah-MENT-ohs PAR-ah el DOH-lore) Or just show the nurse the words. And say "mas" so he or she knows

    I'm hoping my doc does the leak test while I'm still under.

    How did yours go?

    This is a good question to ask your surgeon. It's a topic with varying opinions and practices, according to the surgeon. Mine does a leak test while under anesthesia and then again 24-48 hours post-op.
