I'm 4 weeks post surgery and doing great. Since I had to fly to Tampa for the surgery, I was a bit apprehensive. This app answered all my questions and more...for before and after surgery. It's so full of information and well organized! After surgery, I referred to it several times when I wasn't sure about something (such as calcium dosages). Of course, the doctors and nurses were available if I needed to ask questions, but the app was really useful. I would definitely recommend it.
