Hello Bit!!

second time....mmmmmm....
 
 

All the best Dave. Anyone with serious back problems has my sympathy.

Best wishes Dave

You're in our thoughts and prayers for a smoth recovery.  One of my sons had major back surgery a couple of years ago (and he's going in for another surgery tomorrow).  I've known a number of people who have had back surgery and they've all been glad they did. 
 
Take it easy and we hope to see you back here soon.

Bapu: "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Bitflipper will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

Hmm...  Still waiting for that report...

Good thoughts sent your way Dave! Please get back to us when you can so we know you're ok. Pulling for you man and will pray that all goes well.
 
My dad was presented with the same operation....he was afraid of the bad part possibly happening...so he's stayed on meds. They put it out to him saying "if it works, you'll feel like you're 20...if it doesn't...." You know the drill there.
 
I put him on a diet and it really is amazing how much it's helped his back. 20 lbs off your frame can definitely make a difference....not to mention he's diabetic so removing the bad food helped there too and it has also kept his sugar consistent. Anyone with back issues that can lose a little weight...it will definitely do some good if you can diet.
