Eva, thanks for responding to Gina. I knew you really liked your surgeon, but didn't know about his background. I certainly hope I don't need anymore surgeries in the future, but if I do I will consider Dr. Urken.

Gina, I'm glad you are going to see the best of the best! Let us know what he recommends! Keep the positive thinking and hope -- it does help!
