I had to get the surgery back in late February, and I have been having a hard time getting a straight answer from either of my doctors as to what I can expect in terms of recovery and resuming training. Some days they say I'll be fine if I just start slow, and that in the end I'll be as good or better than before. Other days they make it sound like I'm at greater risk to have this happen again and I should resign myself to not really ever being able to push myself during training and/or take up a much tamer physical outlet. No matter how many times I describe training and practice, the doctors seem confused.

Has anybody here gone through this procedure or had a training partner go through the experience? Are there any pro-fighters that have had this happen? Any information that can be shared would be greatly appreciated.
