So, I feel you if you are sitting out there reading this and are trying to make your own decision about surgery. Please, you aren't alone!! Reach out - we are all very unique and individual re; our specific anatomy (something I learned along the way) and not one of us is the same re: tx. BUT there are a lot of similarities and we have all had a lot of experience knocking on doors and doing research. Good luck!!![/QUOTE]

Hi, Moxie (and others)! I'm going to have surgery with Dr. Donohue and would would love to talk with you. I'm not sure how this forum works or how to do this.

Thanks everyone for your stories, which are very helpful!
