@sjones55 Moving quickly is not a bad thing since it helps keep your mind busy. I had robotic surgery last August and the best advice I can give you is also the simplest: do what the doctors tell you and ask a lot of questions. Remember, you are the star of the show. I can't imagine the recovery from the type of surgery I had prior to robotics. I have a few tiny dots (they look like the aftermath of a mosquito bite!) and that's it. I didn't even have any bandages. One last piece of advice: this is a time when the internet can be a wonderful asset. You've found Mayo Clinic and that is a great first step. But research all those unfamiliar terms and find answers at reputable place like Mayo. In a few months you will know so much more than you do right now and, trust me, the pieces will all fall into place. Never be afraid to ask a question.
