Back surgury
Does anyone know if having back surgury would disqualify me for my Class 1 medical? I have a buldging disk pushing on my cyatic nerve....hurts like hell. My family doc is referring me to a nuro doc to see if I need surgury.

Really?
Well I just had disk decompression surgery and the ALPA Flight Surgeon guy said "no problem... just provide doctors notes when you go in for your physical". Sounded easy enough until my AME became skittish about the doctors note that said "return to normal activity but take it easy at first".
He forwarded my medical to the FAA and now I guess I just sit and wait... this isn't how I was told this would go.
Anyone have any insight?
