Hi there - there are a few people here who've been through the same surgery. They will chime in I'm sure. I know its not an easy surgery since I've heard that from others. But if your surgeons are good, and the fact that they are using your own bone really helps then hopefully all will go well. The HBO is supposed to be great for healing! Just wanted to wish you luck and will turn you over to the experts! ;o) take care.
