Having said that, I will be getting the G forms for less intense MTB rides.
If you think the G forms will work for you after your surgeries, then it would likely work for me. I did have one knee flare this spring when I crashed "up hill" and drove my patella into the ground - it wasn't happy with me for awhile after that...but the trails I ride and my skill level would likely make the Fox Launch overkill for me. Thanks for the post!
