I thought I'd bump this discussion up because I'm thinking of Dave (@lamborama) as he goes in for a septal myectomy today. See his post here http://mayocl.in/2fAIClG. As he looks forward to post-surgical recovery, let's gather your recovery stories.

When did you have surgery? What you wish you had known to prepare you for the the recovery period?
