  • Has ANYONE had both procedures all in one day? ~ (Anterior AND Posterior?)

    Dear Partners in Pain,

    Have any of you had the anterior and posterior procedures done at the same time? Also, has anyone had the bone graft taken from one of their hips instead of their ribs? Most of you have said that one procedure was done and the other one was done several days or a week later. I feel like a loner! According to what you've said, I'm beginning to feel as though I've made a serious mistake. I had everything done in 12 hours. (...at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis by a Washington University specialist.) ~ Could anyone out there help me? Thank You!
