Default I am looking for guidance regarding LP

My Pixie has been diagnosed with bad LP. Her vet feels surgery is necessary. I have an appointment Wednesday with a board certified surgeon who specializes in Othropedics, neurology and something else. For anyone who has gone through this I was wondering if you could answer some questions.
How did you know that surgery was the only option, Did you do both legs at once? If so, How long before they can walk? How do they go potty? Do they have to stay over night at the hospital? Are they in a cast/bandage? If so for how long? WHen can they start using the leg? Do you have to do physical therapy on them? Is it hard to do? Are you satisfied with the surgery?
Thanks so much. I know I will have more questions and appreciate any feedback. I am just so scared for my Pixie.
