Thank you to everyone. This is really helpful information and I really appreciate your willingness in sharing your experiences and recommendations. This is definitely a faith walk. I take one day at a time and thank God for each day. The surgeon, Dr. George Younan, will perform the procedure. His specialty is complex Hepatobiliary (HPB) and Pancreatic surgery which appears to be similar to Dr Evans speciality. I hear he's the best here in Virginia. I am just a little anxious about the procedure.
