I was scheduled for robotic surgery yesterday at 4:00 pm at Mount Sinai in NYC went in the OR at 5:00 pm and woke up in the recovery room about
7:45 pm Surgery went very good. Most of the discomfort is from the bloated feeling and the sore throat. I was discharded at 11:45 am today, great to be home. I was so stressed out over the last few weeks, but there are so many people on this forum that help me out with their positive attitude and prayer. One member mentioned once you make your decision and you realize you are letting go of self control, it will be much easier to handle, i kissed and told my wife, son and daughter i will see them in a few hours, i walked into the OR and the stress level was almost. Best wishes to everyone
