L4-S1 laminectomy/L4-5 posterior spine fusion

Hi,

I am new here but wanted to know if anyone else has had this same surgery.I am having it at Vanderbilt Spine next Thursday.They are using Depuy for the fusion.Any of you used that before.Can't wait to get out of the terrible pain I am in but dreading the pain after surgery!How bad will it be?I have a high pain tolerance and have been through a lot.These will be my 11th and 12 th surgeries.Thanks for any help or info you can give.

God Bless
