Hi everyone, how have you been? Have you had surgery to remove pituitary adenoma to treat your acromegaly? If so, what was your experience like? Is there anything Cora52 should know to prepare herself for her surgery?

Hi everyone, I've finally been scheduled for surgery to remove the pituitary tumor after years of struggling with this condition! I'm torn between excitement and anxiety, because it's obviously a big surgery. I was wondering if anyone can share a bit of what their surgery experience was like so I know what to expect?
The doctor explained the mechanics of it so I guess I technically know what will happen, but I guess I'd love to have someone's firsthand experience to know what I'm getting into? What's the pain/recovery like? Should I do anything particular to prepare for it or to prepare for recovery?
Thanks so much for any replies!
