Michelle,

I've had the surgery and I'm still here to talk about it smile
Here is a video of Carol Coogan at the UWMC with my surgeon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNW6aY0Xims

It's an interesting interview and can show you what to expect. Carol is actually an OCF member and has posted on these forums before, she looks fantastic.

Ease you mind my dear. It is a big surgery but you can make it through it if I did smile
