Good Luck on your surgery. I was in the best shape of my life before surgery. I am 2 weeks out and am doing o.k. I walk 3 times a day about a block a time and I will slowly increase. They say being in shape will help in recovery. Get help after and don't be afraid to ask. I am from Wisconsin also, and had my surgery in Kenosha. I had no issues with insurance.
