The Surgeons, Anesthesia Specialists and the technicians were very helpful and thoroughly explained what I had to do during the surgery.
I got admitted to the hospital on 12th of October 2011. It was evening by the time I got admission. The next day, there were a set of tests that had to be undergone. A dietician came in the evening and took details regarding my health and what kind of food I preferred. A technician from the department for blood tests came to the room around 5:30am and took blood sample for tests.
The dietician would visit everyday to confirm what I want for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The patient could choose soft food that would very easy to digest. The patient can also order for more fruits for dinner. A patient can order for fruit juices at any time of the day.
The surgeon whom I had met the previous day was practicing with another surgeon. He came to my room that morning and gave me certain details regarding what was expected from me during the surgery. During surgery, they would show me a sheet of paper in which pictures would be drawn. I would be waken from during surgery and will have to read the pictures that were drawn. I should not take solid food in the morning and the surgery would be from 8:30 am in the morning. Couple of hours later, I was taken to the Department of Anesthesia. There were two anesthesia specialists whom I met there. There told me that I would not be given complete anesthesia and that I would woken up during the surgery and would be asked to read drawn in the paper that would be shown to me. They also told me that almost all patients were able to cope up with this, but, if at all I was not able to, then they would give me complete anesthesia.
Then, a technician from the Operation Theatre, took me to the there and showed me how it looked like, the facilities that were available there. He took me to the next room were a spine surgery was being performed (there was an instrument being used to perform the surgery and there was noise, I am not sure whether it was something to do with the the spine) He told me that the patient undergoing the surgery was given complete anesthesia. (Luckily I did not start getting tense, at the bottom of my heart, I must have been ready to face my surgery)
There was an MRI taken that evening. The technician would give me instructions during the process - start speaking, wave your hand and I was supposed to do the same. This was for use during surgery.
My surgeon came around evening. He gave me the same instructions as the other surgeon. I was supposed to be on fasting from 10pm that night.
