My experience of the hospital ward staff, the theatre staff and the after care was very good. The post op care from Mr Keeling in particular was excellent as he responded to email queries I had very promptly. I found my surgery was quite debilitating in the first 2 - 3 weeks, and although I did my own research and reading up on what to expect post - op, there was some very useful advice and tips online which could be included in your post leaflet advice.
