Microdisectomy and returning to normal?

Hi all,

I have a slipped disc leaning on my bowel/bladder nerve along with spinal stenosis. I am having a lumbar microdisectomy on 6th June and 4 weeks, 4 days later, I have a music/dance festival that was booked months prior to knowing the op date.

Does anyone know if I will be ok to go to this festival still or would it be better to cancel instead?

Would also appreciate any stories on recovery process to see what I should be expecting.

Many thanks in advance!
