I'm very excited and also nervous for the upcoming surgery.
Besides the pain from the surgery, I'm pretty curious about the scars. Are they very noticeable and do they fade away over the years?
You should find 4 little scars at the hip level (lateral, made to inser the nail and screws), 2 little scars slightly lower on the surface of the thigh (front and lateral, made for the IT band release) and the last 2 in the middle height of the thigh (for the other screws)

So 8 incisions in total? Is it for both legs or each leg has 8 incisions? I should have asked this question during my consultation.

Yes 8 in every leg...for the band release maybe you could find even just one. Anyway there’s no problem, surely in the Paley institute they are very skilled and as less invasive as possible. Scars are the smallest problem in my opinion.

Yeah. I think maybe they can be improved by laser treatment later.

Finished my surgery today and feeling good!
I arrived around 6 am in the morning. Some paper work. They gave me some pain meds and setup IV. Talked with anesthesiologist. Then they shaved my legs and being me to the operation room.
The next thing I know is waking up in the recovery room. I remember I talked with Dr Paley and Angelique briefly and then got transferred to my private room.
Slept a lot today and I just finished my dinner. Food is okay.
Pain is around 2-3 now. the nurse asked me to let her know if I start to feel more pain and she can give me different/more pain meds.
