@silvergirl29, I can understand how this is concerning. We put trust in our doctors and we depend on them to do the right thing, each and every time, especially surgeons. In reading your messages, you make many points that exhibit confidence in the surgeon and the method of the procedure. It’s also normal to be on edge before a surgery, especially when you find new info like this. You need to believe that you are doing the right thing, no one else can tell you what to do.
What might help restore your confidence?, did you have a chance to ask how often he performs similar surgeries?
