If you had surgery, do you wish you would not have ?
Why? Are you sure you could have lived with surgery on the table and never had used it? |

Cannot undo what i decided and has been done. At this moment, i am feeling so relieved so i do not regret the surgery. It was a tough decision and i was very nervous but i didn't see an alternative.

I may have lived without surgery, but I may have lost my arms. I made th right choice I believe.
Remember tho, were are all individuals with unique problems. No "one size fits all" solutions. Anne

I had the surgery which has improved my quality of life. It has not solved all my symptoms, but has improved some.

so far so good. Like Brmr said --- some things remain, but many things are better. Hopefully things get even better and/or last forever.

I wish I just had chosen Dr. D in the first place instead of the surgeon I chose, that is the only thing I regret about my first surgery. But I knew back then and still know now, that I really need surgery because I am on a downhill path without it.

I would do it over and over again. For me, having both surgeries was totally worth it.
