Default Back surgery tomorrow.
Pretty extensive, going in the front and the back, spacers, rods and screws. Doctor says I can't ride for 6 months. Bummer.

Good luck with the surgery, you'll be back sooner than you think. Look at it this way, given all the metal, you might have a good excuse to avoid flying and just ride.

Sure wishing you a speedy recovery and good results.Chronic back pain is not any fun.

I've had two back surgeries. You'll be find. I hope it goes well and you get back soon.

I had a 360 fusion back in 97 (T12-L5), it helped by holding my crumbling spine together,
but did nothing to help with the chronic pain.

Hope you get well soon, and the surgery helps more than mine did.

Good Luck with this!

sorry to hear it man. Hopefully you'll catch the tail end of the summer but don't push it.

Best of luck with the surgery.
Can't ride for 6 months?
Too bad you couldn't have scheduled the surgery for October-November.
Keep us posted on your progress.
