Thank you. It's too early to see yet lol well hopefully, you take pain better than I do. I was really sensitive to anesthesia and got nauseous often. How are you going to the hotel after sx? Cause I think somebody has to pick you up. I remember signing some papers and it said no taxis etc.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am travelling alone also for my surgery on Dec 2 and I am very nervous because I have no one to accompany me. How are you doing and is it very difficult alone? Do you recommend the Ramada where you are? Please share items you recommend that I take with me. Thanks much. Can't wait to see your after pix. Happy healing
