    I am waiting for a decompression & fusion of L4/5. I have been "postponed twice" by the NHS in the South of England. Not good, I was amazed how worked up I had become & now will spend the next 3weeks getting my head around going for op.

    surgeon isn't bothered & blames it on the system.... 

    Anyway, if your next op went well, this should encourage you for a good outcome for your lower back. Bert of luck!
