I am also on the Gold Coast, and had bilateral surgery last year at Pindara. Waiting is the worst part of this journey, so just get through the next 4 days keeping as busy as you can. The surgery is surprisingly pain free, and after the first 24-48 hours I found panadol was enough, but you will probably start on Endone when you wake up. Don't forget front-opening pjs so the nurses can access your dressings easily (I only had a strip of tape - amazing!) A small pillow tucked under each arm will also help with comfort and sleeping on your back, as you won't try to roll over.
Two of the girls on this site have your surgeon also - TinaW, and Casjsa - so you could message them for information.
All the very best with your surgery. Sending you a big hug. Michelle xxx
