@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?

@upstatephil Being under anesthesia twice really does have me concerned because I have stomach issues that do not like it! I had foot surgery and ended up back in the hospital from pain meds and anesthesia did a number on my stomach. I have never been in so much pain in my life. Needless to say I have surgery ptsd lol.
This is where the mortified feelings came from. My BIGGEST FEAR is how am going to manage that type of pain. I heard it is quite a painful surgery.
