Hi Ally and CityGirl, I just had the procedure at Heartland Spine and Specialty on Tuesday. The Dr and hospital staff were just wonderful. They were all kind, caring and very attentive to any need I had. HIGHLY recommended. I'm a bit older than you young'uns so I'm still trying to get all of the anesthesia out of my system, but so far so good. The 5 surgical "holes" are minimal and it seems Dr Malley has quite a fine stitching technique. Other than a little bruising, they are flat and straight. I'm sure they will fade away easily. Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll be glad to help if I can. Rep
