I've decided that I definitely need to do surgery, however how long of a fusion will remain to be seen. While I'm waiting for my next appointment in May I came up with some questions.
1. Has anyone had bladder/bowel changes or menstrual changes before surgery? After surgery?
2. What's the most height gain you've heard of for anyone after surgery? At this point I'll just take half an inch... more would be a dream!
3. After surgery has anyone's abs/torso flattened out, even a little? I have flub (or muffin top) that I can't get rid of after having my daughter.
4. How long should I expect to be out of work? I understand that as long as I'm on pain meds that I can't drive, which means I can't work.
I understand that everyone is different, but even to just learn about others experiences will be helpful. I have loads of questions for the surgeon, they may have to tack on some extra time for my appointment!
Thanks for everything!
