Please go into as much detail as possible You never know what small thing will help anyone of us future LLers.
And stay strong my friend! You're in this for a better long run!
Don't worry about updating constantly. Go easy on yourself, and put yourself first!

Thanks, Ozy & mtall. I've chosen spinal anesthesia + sedative. General involves a tube being put into your lungs and that's a bit excessive. The catheter will be in me for a while but it has zylocen jelly(or something) which is an anesthetic so it shouldn't hurt much. Just met with the physician who put me at ease.
Basically
Day 1: Surgery, ICU, room
Day 2: Catheter comes out, PT, walking
Day 3: IV comes out
Painkillers given throughout. Or so the physician says.

all the best Penguinn. Remember, last day being 5'2".

are the people being judgemental because you're doing a cosmetic thing? anyway it doesn't matter. One has to live per his expectations, not someone else's.

The nurse seemed mildly amused but mostly nonchalant. The physician wasn't judgemental at all. One assistant surgeon whose name I forget was friendly and reassuring.

Fun fact, I'm in Room 23, the room Kilo got.

Good to know that hospital staff is not putting more stress at you. I don't even imagine the flame i would get from my orthopedic doctor that i would even consider getting this surgery for cosmetic reasons lol.

Keep tight, keeping fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, my second endocrinologist(not related to this place) kept telling me I was being dumb for considering LL and whatnot. He was 6'3...

whatever the perceptions of people are, all a patient would want is to be reassured before surgery. Not to be made to suspect his own sanity.

My second endo wasn't in this (Mangal Anand)hospital. It was another place, months ago and I just ignored it. People here are friendly so I'm glad, plus at least one of my parents will keep visiting cause I live half an hour away. Despite some fear and anxiety not once have I thought I shouldn't do this and no one could convince me of that either.

Dude - when I was on the surgery bed, right after the surgery was over, one of the guy from surgeon team made fun of me saying - "Choti biwi dhoond lo, khush raho, kyun karvaya ye sab", which means "Go find a short wife and be happy with her, why are you doing all this". I know you're strong willed to ignore such people, so just stay calm and excited ... Good luck
