When you are able to look in the mirror, check for dried spooge.

Good luck. I wouldn't bother trying to sleep tonight though. It is what it is.

Good luck buddy, when you get back start a thread about your recovery

[NarcissisticDeity]

Get a second opinion , then get a third. Back surgery is a bell you can't unring

[SF1900]

Good luck!

[Dave D]

I pray nothing but success for you bro.

[AbrahamG]

Good luck brother.  Don't let Shizzo find out which hospital as he may try to go undercover and take some liberties whilst you are under anesthesia.

[Fallsview]

Hope all goes well. Will be saying a prayer for you. Get well, recoup fast and get big.





STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr Anabolic]

What are you having done exactly?

Getting cut should be the very last option.

[Al Doggity]

 Cancel the surgery and just do some deadlifts. if you're too lazy for that, then good luck with the surgery,man.

[Pete Nice]

Best of luck, I hope it goes very well for you.

[Taffin]

Good luck buddy, when you get back start a thread about your recovery

And of course you now have the 'Opiates and Benzo's' thread to refer to so you can make (ultra) informed choices when you work with your Pain Management Team..... (in fact you'll probably be able to teach them a thing or two LOL)

If it's full anaesthetic we'll see you after the dark side of the moon - all the best dude 

[calfzilla]

Good luck but by the way did you hear about Steve Kerr having back surgery. He had some side effects it still lasts about two years later and he said that if you're thinking about having back surgery don't do it don't let them cut you. I think his issue is his spine is leaking spinal fluid which is causing really bad headaches and other symptoms.

[honest]

good luck, 8 years post op titanium replacement at three levels, get it done before you get nerve damage that you wont recover from.

Good looking out

Decompression. It is, I have tried everything. You name it, I probably tried it. I even tried ddp yoga, and quackery like magnetic therapy, acupuncture  and holistic shit.  It has been getting worst. I can't do any standing exercises and forget cardio. You know how hard and strict you have to diet without cardio not to be a fat ass?  Hell, if I walk for 20 minutes my leg fells asleep.

Yeah, I'm worried about the nerve damage. I read stories on the internet were people don't get in fix in time and have to wear adult diapers.

Yeah, they said to work with my primary doctor for pain management. Apparently it can hurt like a bitch for 6 weeks after because the nerve is over active. It sucks that I still have to work.

Stay strong brother!!

Damn, dude 

Seriously though, since I'm sure you will be out of commission for a bit after the procedure, you should make a thread updating your experiences/progress following the surgery. We may treat each other like shit here sometimes, but it's only with the best intentions at heart.

Good luck, and hope to hear that everything went as good as could be expected. Please keep us informed.

[Shizzo]

Hey Texan, was the any pre surgery prep that you had to follow? Not eating etc.....?

[HTexan]

Hey Texan, was the any pre surgery prep that you had to follow? Not eating etc.....?

Yeah, no fish oils, vitamins, nsaids, tumeric for a week before, and fasting right now.

[Shizzo]

It's like that for most surgeries? Did they tell you the reasoning behind it?

[HTexan]

It's like that for most surgeries? Did they tell you the reasoning behind it?

They had a list of stuff, mostly meds, not to take. They prevent you cotting, cause you to bleed more, and/or effects the anesthesia. Waking up mid surgery isn't fun.

[Slik]

If u have a great surgeon you'll be fine. Good luck!
