Hello @diver126

I'm glad to hear that you will seek a second opinion. That is always a good first step before agreeing to surgery. The second opinion might concur with the first opinion, but it will give you a bit more assurance as to whether to proceed or wait.

Do you have an appointment scheduled yet for the second opinion?

I've had a second opinion from a different hospital and surgeon who says he wouldn't offer me the operation the risks of other complications and side affects arnt worth it "at this time" however the other surgeon is from a bigger university hospital so one would think more knowledgeable- he did outline all possible risks which are quite daunting.
