    Hi! Just wanted to share my experience. My surgery was scheduled for 11:30am and I was released about five hours later. .... remember, that one of the symptoms of hyperparathyroidism is anxiety. Perhaps, once you have your surgery, you will feel less anxious. (It's a possibility).  I wish you the best.
