Laswell,
Glad you are with the group. I'm new, too. I had the DeVinci robotic surgery at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham. It was a breeze. In one day, home the next. Cath. for 14 days. Back at work in two weeks.
I have only been on this site for a couple of days, but these people will give you all the info and, most of all, support you need.
Look around for other postings and you will find what you are looking for. You are in our prayers.
War-Eagle to all.
