It's been over 1 year since my surgery and I thought I'd provide an update.
I've had absolutely no issues since recovering last year. I feel great and I am so glad that I did the surgery. It was completely life changing for the better.
Since last year, I've competed in 2 triathlons, did a 100K charity bike ride, ran in a 10 miler, and am doing a half-marathon in November. There is no way I could have done any of this without the surgery.
I've had no pain, no issues, and have made a full recovery.
I've heard people say that this is the worse kind of surgery to have, and I believe it. But my experience, having come through it is very positive.
I hope anyone that is having this surgery will read this and feel a little better about the prospects post-surgery. I wish you a quick and speedy recovery!!
