Congratulations! I'm thrilled to hear that Dr. Takayama and his helped you! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Thank you Adam for this website that helped me find Dr Takayama!
Alexander, I probably will give it a 95. This is my first experience ever having a surgery and being in hospital for so long, so it is hard for me to rate it. But overall the experience was great, everyone was caring and nice, especially those nurses and therapists taking... Read more.

Day 4 after surgery, things are finally moving on the right direction.for the few days after surgery, I wasnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt able to go number 2. It was no fun and more difficult than I anticipated. Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm scheduled to be discharged Tomorrow. Here is a picture of my minimum invasive incision. I... Read more.

Congratulations! Hope each day it will get better! Sending loveรขยยครฏยธย
Hang in there, Anna - this recovery takes time, but it gets better each week.
Sounds like you are doing well. The hospital staff will likely cheer when you do the No 2. It's very important for your release. Hang tough and listen to your body.
You are right, Rose, the sweet nurses cheered on me

Arrived at NYC safely yesterday. Very surprised that the fees and taxes for Uber added up to over 70 bucks, about two times the cost of the 30 something actually goes to the driver! Kind of culture shock to us southernersรฐลธหœโ€š

Sometimes it's cheaper to Uber than take a taxi, but wow!
I know what you mean, Anna. It seems like many of the new, popular services are adding lots of fees. Let us know how you are settling in!
Thank you Valerie! Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm settling fine so far. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from hospital which is nice. It is tiny but clean and quiet. Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขll only stay here till Tuesday night and then my husband will stay here alone, so it is not bad. I booked... Read more.
You are right, Richard! I definitely donรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt want to be mugged or carry the luggage on bus or subway รฐลธหœโ€š
I will have a long day tomorrow for pre-op tests
Good point Richard! All about perspective! รฐลธหœโ€š
Godspeed, Anna. You are finally there and will soon be in recovery.
Praying all goes well for you this week Anna! รฐลธโ„ขยโค๏ธ รฐลธยยป
