My Surgery is...

I traveled down to New Orleans a few days ago to see the other urologist that would be assisting Dr. Winters in my bladder augmentation. His name is Dr. Roth, a pediatric surgeon at the Children's Hospital in New Orleans. He was very nice and agreed with Winters' plan of surgery. He said according to his schedule it would be about 4 to 6 weeks before he could be able to do the surgery, and that was loosely based on his schedule alone not coordinating with a whole other schedule. One of his nurses called the next day with a actual surgery date. December 6! That's 13 weeks from today so I'll be counting down the weeks!!

Here's what I know.
  • My surgery will be December 6, 2017
  • The surgery will take anywhere from 8-12 hours
  • Recovery time is 3 months
  • I'll be in the hospital for 7-10 days
  • I will be admitted December 5
  • My incision will be from the top of my pelvic area to above my belly button
