Back Surgery Complete

Went in for the back surgery yesterday and all went well.
I was scheduled for the surgery at 10:00am, but the one they did before me ended up taking a LOT longer than expected, so they didn't come get me until 2:30pm. Everything went ok though, doc said I did fine and I was able to get up and move around about an hour after surgery so they let me come home.
I am doing pretty good. No real pain so far to speak of. I have been up and about, even walked up and down our street this morning, and feel just fine. There is a feeling of pressure on my lower back, but it isn't really painful at all. I have been taking Vicadin every 5 to 6 hours though.
Anyway, all seems well, I feel fine, so hopefully I will have a speedy recovery, and can get back to the last steps I need to have the WLS.
I am hoping to get everything done and have the WLS in mid September, right after the Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire. I figure it will be real close to faire before I can get in, so I might as well wait until after faire to have it.
