Furthermore, I don't have insurance, and I am just got hooked up with some low income program. Therefore, I am not even sure what they will cover as far as TOS. I am hopefully going to see a primary care physcian by next week to give me some referrals. Until then I guess I am just going to have to research as much as I can.

I have seen all 3 surgeons in L.A. I really liked Dr. Gelabart at UCLA.He claims he has a 90% sucess rate. I did not like Dr. Ahn ,Dr Mckenna just ok Its strange , I havent heard anything about Dr. G on this forum though- and dont know anyone who has had surgery with him. i would like to hear from anyone who has. I dont know how much out of town patients he does so his profile may be lower. He is part of the TOS consortium and very experienced. It might be worth a trip down to S.Cal-much closer. if I were going to look into surgery and wanted to travel I would check out Dr. Donohue, Dr. Pearl and Dr. Thompson but would highly consider Dr. Gelabart since I am in L.A.
