good luck dude. nobody wants to be cut up if they don't have to - but like gralegrav says, it's never as bad as you think. I'm 6 weeks post op, back on the bike and did 50 lengths of crawl in the pool on Monday... the op hurt, but going from the uncertainty of 'is it healing' to seeing it all lined up with screws and plates on an xray does wonders for your state of mind.
