I give up on my doctors assistant.

She emailed me back & said "HI, that’s the way for surgery to be performed to stay away from your bowel movement. Please schedule with Dr. _____ for your concerns and the above questions Thank you."

Talk about language barriers, I won't go there. I'm too upset.

This closes this conversation for now until I see my surgeon,
I hate that he can't just get on the phone with me for a 5 minute or less conversation. No....I have to make an appointment & go see him.
Don't get me wrong, I love my surgeon, it's just a difficult and challenging situation for me to get there & then get home. (other issues I have).

Thank you for the responses, you guys are great!
