Title: Have my surgery date!!!
Post by: makinmagic on October 04, 2013, 01:43:45 AM
It's in less than 2 months! Initially I had to go in May, but a spot suddenly opened in less than 2 months from now. I am so excited and happy and worried. Please share tips, any tips, just about anything that you can come up with. What do I need to bring besides lots of reading material? How are the pain levels after? After my FFS I had zero pain, none at all, didn't take a single Vicodin :) Is walking painful? Is doing "number two" painful? Is sitting troublesome?
Just share anything from your personal experience and congratulate me :)

Glad things are coming together for you and the date is set. I had like 1 month chopped off my wait time due to a date came avaliable.

Dr McGinn was one of the doctors that did my BA. She is a sweetheart. I am a Montreal GRS girl so i am going to let things for the McGinn girls to chime in here. I think maybe your biggest challenge will be the dilation schedule she uses.

I wish you speedy recovery.

Izzy
