  • You'll check in several hours before your scheduled surgery. Expect to stay for 3 to 4 days.
  • The procedure will probably last about 2 to 3 hours.
  • Recovery from anesthesia will probably take about 2 hours.
  • Once you're fully awake, you'll go to your hospital room.
  • You will likely stick to a liquid diet for the rest of the day.
  • You will need medication to help with pain and to prevent infection and blood clots.
