Hello: Thank you all for you kind words of encouragement. Unfortunately, at my pre-op meeting today, my surgeon postponed my surgery for 2 months. I'm very disappointed and sad. I'm also angry at myself because it's my fault that I haven't been consistent with the exercise and he's a real stickler for it. However, I went an immediately joined 24 Hour Fitness and I have 2 sessions with a personal trainer. I'll be working out 5 days a week until I see the surgeon again in 2 months! Wish me luck. Take care and I'll keep you posted. Julia

Best Wishes for a successful surgery and smooth recovery! Weigh to go! I just read another post from someone who just had surgery and the thing that hurts the most is their BACK. And it is PAINFUL, not just uncomfortable. THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR SURGEON, BEFORE THEY PUT YOU UNDER, IS TO PUT SOMETHING UNDER YOUR KNEES TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF YOUR BACK!!! Time and time again folks are coming out of the O.R. and their back is killing them. It’s because you are lying flat on your back for hours on a hard surface. How long can you do that now? If the surgeon will just put a rolled up blanket under your knees this problem will be eliminated! Got It?... Good…. Problem solved. (Or at least talk it over with him/her).
