Surgery date set~ October 9.

[SusieSouth 51]

I know I am doing this for all the right reasons. So excited, yet afraid.

For those of you who have already had the surgery, I have no one to bring to my appointment. Was this necessary for you?

My surgery is 9/28 but my doctor requires that someone is there to take you home, they don't require anyone to be with you when you arrive for surgery. I'm sorry no one will be with you when you go to the hospital, its nice to have emotional support anytime you are having surgery. I wish you the best and a safe recovery.

I read in the instructions that I may be kept at the hospital post Surgery for a day or two. I'm hoping I'd be less groggy or sedated by the time I'm leaving.

Good luck to you on the 28th! Almost there!

I have BCBS that requires a 1 night stay and possibly more if there are complications. Some people are so out of it with the anesthesia even after 24-48 hours they need someone with them to listen and understand your discharge instructions, fill your prescriptions, etc.
