Hello Kathy, your consultant is correct. This not a common surgery. I have " met" lass than half a dozen others online since Kris had his surgery. It is a hard and gruelling surgery with a long recovery time. I have asked Kris , on a few occasions, if, knowing what he now knows, would he do this surgery again?
He always replies without hesitation, definitely yes.
Please do keep in touch. We both are here to support you and Tony and answer any queries you may have.
