I am on the same journey as you. My first appt is on the 14th. This will be my second surgical consult and I am hoping for better news. The first one I seen wants to do a fusion on one day, let me rest for the next day and then back in surgery to place 6 pins in my back. To say the least I was mortified!!! You want to do what???
Good luck at your appt.

Same to you, yeah that seems kinda odd to me too.

@sherri1720 - I had my lumbar work done over two surgeries separated by one day. The docs don’t want you under general anesthesia for too long…so they often split a big surgery into two parts.
No need to be mortified, I think. That surgical schedule is pretty normal.
What else can we spine surgery veterans help you with?
