1. 55 at he the time of surgery.
2. 2006
3. Mostly positive.
4. Can eat almost anything now.
5. It took many year and surgeries to get the flap right. Even now it feels a little full but I mostly can ignore it.
6. I was never really offered any other choice and put my life in the hands of the team.

Best of luck with your surgery.
