WORTH IT
The few days was the worse - I could not stand straight up completely and it bothered my lower back. As the week went on I started to feel better and standing up, but did feel I was almost my normal self until the drains came out - about 2 weeks after surgery. I think I was about 4 or 5 weeks post op when I felt like myself and was back to work.
