This is the only road block to me being cut on and I know the chance of it happening is slim but just the fact that the chance is there is almost too much for me to bear. I know it comes down to doing it but I'm curious if anyone else had/haves a barrier to surgery such and this and how is was/is dealt with.

FYI..I'm in 30 years old, not overweight, and in excellent health other than the back issues.
Hey Bro, read my story , i know it will help help you , i was 31 when i went in for this operation, i'm very similar to you, you will be fine mate!. Have a read and let me know, part of the reason i did this also is i want to be able to play with my kids (when i have some one day that is) i don't want to sit on the side lines and watch them....i'm sure you want the same thing...
