Hey Optimistic, my mailbox has room now. ;-)
 

I finally got logged back in to this site after getting a message that you sent a note but my mailbox was full. :o. Please try again and I'll give you my private email...I think I have room for two on here now. :D

Sorry for the frustration!

Hey opt,

The guy that had his surgery the same day as mine had an anterior posterior surgery. I don't know the specifics. He told me it would take the doctors over an hour to switch himself to the other position. The few days post op he was definitely having some difficulty and I was doing better. By the time we left Medicos we were at par, perhaps advantage to him, he was younger than myself.
He had his surgery same time as mine December and was back at work in June I was told.

Hi Stonewall,
I have heard about this one hour interval to prep the OR and flip the patient. If there is significant work on two sides, one surgeon suggested that it may result in 2 separate surgeries, depending on how my body responds to many hours of procedures. The other surgeon suggested that I may want to see how some of the procedures, like decompression & ADR work on 2 levels before considering posterior decompression and work on a third level.

I have consults set up with Dr. C & Dr. B and will know more after I speak with them. Thanks for your input.
