Sunshine,
Congrats on your surgery and hopefully even keel recovery! I have also been advised to have a hybrid surgery done and will be scheduling this after some consideration (vs. going abroad).
Best wishes for continued wonderful recovery and glad to hear your enthusiasum for your surgeon and hospital as well~ I've heard much about Dr.L from at least one other person who thinks he's top notch!
take good care, and please keep us posted on your recovery
