I actually did a week ago.  Basically its all one big shared room while you are waiting to go into surgery I think there were like 8 people there with me.  Then then transport you to a smaller shared room (I didnt have anyone in that one) that can hold like 3 beds and the doctor comes in to talk to you.  Then you go into surgery.  They put you in the recovery room for a while that is shared then you end up back in the room you started with....but I didnt have to stay there overnight... so if you are outpatient thats the way it goes...my family was able to stay with me until they wheeled me into surgery, then when they put me in the first room they were able to come back in.

Howdy, I have my surgery scheduled the 16th...rny...but would love to keep in touch with those around here. Sasse is my surgeon :) I go see him on the 10th at 4:30...

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
