Celiac Artery Aneurysm: Anyone else with same illness?

I recently had a abdominal CT to check on a hernia, but they found a celiac artery aneurysm measuring 11 mm. I have an appointment with a vascular surgeon this week, but my husband & I want me to have surgery for this, although the aneurysm is not very large.I don't even know if he has ever performed this kind of resection before. We live 3 hours from Dallas & may decide to have a surgeon there do the operation. Any advise would be helpful.

Mine was 1.2 and I thought as you are that I should get it repaired. They basically refused to do it. they said the surgery is too risky for the benefit. It's been 1.5 years since first discovery and it has self healed some. Now just a yearly CT scan for me. Good luck but be prepared that they may not do the surgery.
