@4seasons: OP here. Please don't give up hope, just research all you can about surgeons and find the right one for your revision. I had my revision in Boston last October and am doing wonderfully! I would not have thought this would be possible. Sometimes I'm hard on myself because I chose such a poor surgeon for round one not IN Boston! Why in the world would I go anyplace but Boston for such a big deal? I still can't believe I did it... other than locals telling me surgeon 1 was great.

Are you able/willing to travel for your revision? If not, are you near a teaching hospital affiliated with a research university?

As a fellow traveler, I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's hell, no question about that. But this too shall pass. Keep posting!
