    Thanks guys for all your welcomes. It's really nice to have a place where everyone for the most part can relate to your problem and give such informative information from personal experience and not just what you read online(although that helps too). I've already learned a lot on here as far as what to ask the surgeon when you have your consult and what to look for. I don't really know nothing about that because I have never had surgery and that can only come from people who have been through it before. Hopefully I can help someone else out with something on here sometime instead of just being greedy and asking all the questions .
