Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 , Yay! Good to hear back from you so quickly after your surgery. I don't have experience with your surgeon, so I'll leave that for someone else. How long were you in the hospital? Did you do rehab afterwards? Did you find your pain control adequate? Congrats again, and I hope your recovery continues to go so smoothly. > > Hello All: > > I had my surgery done on January 30/08.
