I was told that there was an 85% chance I would be better but the surgeon couldn't say how much better. He also said he would wrap my nerves in a wrap that would reduce scarring. I later learned that the surgeon changed to a new kind of wrap or a new protocol because the wrap I got was not effective.

I'm not sure how many surgeries he did before me; I think it was about 30 or 40. He was doing 1 to 2 each week during that time.
