It is really difficult to give details of what you should expect from surgery.

First of all the doctor is the best one that can answer some of these questions for you.

But we really need to know more such as what type of surgery is being with specifics.

Also do you have the MRI report? I always get a copy of the report for my records.

I usually post the MRI report it self so that it can be read by the people on this board. It is up to you as to wheter you want to post the report here on line or not. I usually do so that others can respond in a better fastion.

Also with more information those of that have been thru surgery similar to yours we can give you more details of what to expect from the surgery; the hospital stay and recovery time.

If things are urgent as you indicate I recommend keeping on top of the surgeons office so that you get a response quickly.

Good luck and keep us poste on how you make out
