I’m 81, in good health, and very active. I am more interested in getting the repair done now so that I can resume a full life, rather than waiting until I get feeble and less likely to have a good result when they eventually open me up for repair. I am much more willing to accept the risk of the surgery now than I will be 10 years down the road. I know--it might never even require surgery--in which case, I can continue my life of "moderate exercise" until my number is finally up. Not interested.
I’m a veteran, and going thru the VA, plus I have medical insurance thru United Health Care, they tell me they have to follow the rules laid out by some mental moron, who never met me or seen my health records
Does anyone know a top surgeon willing to talk with me about getting this done now or soon?
By the way, I'm located in Milwaukee Wi.,

Well, I’m 71 and I feel exactly like you. I’m not want to wait around.
