Anyone travel & had the surgery by themselves?

Hi,

I had 2 friends cancel on going with me due to work. My surgery is August 21 in San Antonio w/Dr. Rincon. I will be returning August 23rd by plane. I think the only nervous part is I hope they don't boot me out of the hospital into a taxi while I'm still in pain or have nausea. I've heard people who have done it alone? I'd like to hear your thoughts if you're out there?

Thanks!

Update: NO NAUSEA. The anastesiologist was a wonderful lady and actually getting my wisdom teeth pulled was worse. I was nervous before but as you can see my surgery at 9:40 am today and now its 1pm. No gas pain no nausea. Just a little sore around the port area.

That's great news! Just don't overdo it - right now you probably are still are feeling some subconscious effects of the anesthesia that's making you feel good. I felt amazing on Day 1, it was as if I didn't have surgery at all but just did a million situps. Day 2 hit me like a ton of breaks. I mean overall it still wasn't bad, but compared to day 1 it was a big difference.
