Finally! Surgery tomorrow

Postby toronto83 » Thu Feb 19, 2026 12:41 am

Hi dear members,
Finally, I am scheduled for my implant surgery tomorrow in Toronto with Dr. krakowsky. I’ve been following the forum and I would like to thank you guys for all the valuable information. Thanks to the forum, I was convinced the implant was the way to go going forward.
Wish me luck

Best of luck to you toronto83! I'm 4 weeks and 1 day out from surgery. First couple of weeks a bit tough, but use a lot of ice and follow doctors instructions and all will be well. I'm 2 weeks from "activation day" and I can hardly wait.

Hope all went well. Glad you found helpful info here at Frank Talk. Next few days to rest, ice and ask yourself why did I do this.

Hey toronto83. In addition to the previous advice I recommend acquiring an inflatable donut, Arnica Gel and Aspercream. (Be sure to not get any Arnica into an open incision)
The donut helps when sitting for longer periods of time. The Arnica gel helps alleviate soreness and improves healing time by increasing capillary blood flow. As for the Aspercream, it was a real help in dealing with the additional ache that comes on when beginning cycling.
Blessings to you and your surgical team.
