Oh my , oh my , I am so excited for you
I am so happy that you found a good CRS and that he is so confident, that means that he did a LOT of LIS surgeries and you really should be fine . You went through so much pain - post op will be nothing for you !!! 28 is "good number" LOL, according to Chinese numerology ; ))) , so all is going "for you" , dear Jules !!!
I wish you luck with it all and may you heal once and for all
