Having a laminectomy and Fusion L4 L5, L3. Scared. Thoughts?

I am having a laminectomy and Fusion L4 L5, L3?

FINALLY after putting it off way too long! I would GREATLY appreciate ANY and ALL advice for before and after the surgery! And i would REALLY REALLY appreciate ALL POSITIVE stories from this procedure! THank you from the bottom of my heart as I am scared beyond anything i have ever thought I would be! Cheers 🙂

Second post! I forgot to ask ??? my DR. is doing my laminectomy with Fusion L4 L5 the standard way, NOT minimally invasively!!! I am not sure what to think about this as i dont want someone who is not well trained on this surgery??? should I cancel and find a DR who will do MIS? thank you so very much to any helpful advice,,, cheers 🙂
