Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Ok so I finally scheduled my sugery for July 13th. I am at the point I can't wait to have it over with. Can anyone let me know what to expect if everything goes well? I am also having something extra done with my rib hump where the surgen is going to take a piece of each rib to help it flatten, anyone had this done? My dr told me I would be in hosptial for 7 days and would have me up day after sugery. How true could this be? Also how hard is it to drive after sugery? How long before you were able to drive? I am very scared of the pain, I hope I can handle it. Any advice would be appriciated.
