Hi all,
I'm more a reader than a "poster" but I wanted to let you all know that I am now 9 days post op. I was fused T10-L4 in a 7 hour posterior surgery. I feel taller and straighter. It was worth it!!
I used the information on this forum to prepare emotionally. Thank you to all who have gone through this.
I am wondering if anyone suffered from a distended belly post op. I was put on light solids - toast and broth one day post op and it was too early. My belly swelled up with gas and I looked full term pregnant. The discomfort was worse than the back pain. It took 6 days and no eating for this time for it to get back to normal.
Best,
Jody
