You can attend one of the joint class in the hospital and get this type of questions answered. Classes are on every Monday morning.
To go along with what Prakash S said set up your rehab facility before your surgery. I highly recommend the center at Arrowhead
I think it depends on the doctor that you have. Do some research on them and the departments you will be in. The maternity ward was okay and the ER is not that great.
