Break a leg -

Pain is a little intense afterwards, subsides & the staff should help you all the way.

My surgery was on Sept 10th and other than a painful sneeze yesterday to remind me I'm still recovering I feel pretty good, +20 lbs down.

Right after the surgery you'll probably still wonder if you made the right decision but you wouldn't have passed the battery of tests if it wasn't something you weren't a candidate for - so from a medical perspective you are in good company.

I know for me it was necessary and so given the options was the best decision I could make - and I'm totally comfortable with that!

Im a week out today, i had the regreat when the pain and discomfort wouldnt let up

I am pne of the lucky ones. They kept me on pain meds the day of surgery. After they wore off I did fine. Little stiff walking at first but more disconfort than any real pain. Good luck..
