I'm scheduled for August 6th. Aetna is still officially pending, but the insurance guru at the surgeon's office said that she's confident it'll get through. I am so excited to start this journey and get healthy and active again. However, I am also petrified. I've never had a serious surgery before and I am so scared of how painful it's going to be. Is it so painful that I am I really not going to be able to go back to work ( a total desk job with no lifting or anything) for two weeks?
