Hope everything goes well for for you. It sounds Like an easy procedure but in reality, no procedure is simple. I certainly hope they are going to do the surgery with robotics, vs. by hand. Kinda like orthiscopic surgery. Healing time is much shorter with the robot.I just had a tumor removed from my kidney, took 1/3 of my kidney to get it all out. My operation was on Dec. 2 and lasted 5hours. Here it now the 13th and I am at home and on here. Now granted, I am not 100%, but I've been home for three days, and am doing pretty good. This verses when I had Colon surgery conventionally and was in the hospital for over 3 months before they let me come home, and another month till till the dr would even consider me going back to work. My prayers are being sent up for you. I truly hope everything goes well, and a very speedy recovery.
