    Hello!! I arrived same day as surgery. It was a Wednesday. Shuttle picked me up at noon from SD, went to clinic first for blood work and EKG, then straight to hospital. I was headed to surgery around 2:30. No waiting for me, very few surgeries that day.

    Best wishes!!!

    They had me getting ready early morning when the hospital opened around 530/6am. I was the 2nd of 12 that day. He goes off BMI, lower goes in first due to lesser chance of complications.
