well surgery date is the 27th. I didn't lose the 20lbs I wanted to, but I'm 34 and should fair well.
I'm most worried about the scarring that occurs around week 3. I read Deuce's thread and just about flopped my head on my keyboard a few times aganizing what I got myself into, but I think I'll ride it out first. I had the same problem as him; protrusion that kept rubbing up against the nerve root for 10 years. I have some scarring, but the hospital system hasn't seen any reason to stop yet. I go in for a pre-op this friday. I anyone wants me to keep a log on this forum about my surgery in san francisco let me know. I'll start taking notes soon.
