UP COMING SURGERY.

HELLO ALL, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW. THEY HAVE DECIDED TO DUE SURGERY ON MY LEG. I HAVE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE peroneal nerve IN MY LEG . I GUESS THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS AFTER WLS. BUT OUT OF ALL OF MY DOCTORS PATIENTS I AM ONLY THE SECOND ONE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. ITS JUST MY LUCK LOL!!! OH WELL MY SURGERY IS JULY 31ST AT UVA. SO PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS . I AM A LITTLE SCARED ABOUT THIS SURGERY. AND ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE SCARE THAT WILL BE ON THE BACK OF MY LEG BEHIND MY KNEE.. I HATE SCARES . THE SURGERY THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS DECOMPRESSION SURGERY. I GUESS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THEY GO IN AND REMOVE ANY TISSUE THAT IS PRESSING ON THE NERVE. SO THAT THE NUMBNESS IN MY LEG GOES AWAY.. WE SHALL SEE IF THIS WORKS.. ALSO WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO? PLEASE LET ME KNOW I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY DID FOR YOU TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS... HOLLY 259/141/???

You said they are going in behind your knee???? ( I am not sure if I read that right.) Good Luck to you !!! Hang in there !! I am sure that all will go well and you will feel much better afterwards !! Dana
