Clark is right with fixing what is wrong and not worrying about "what if". Im 6 months out from the major surgery and now am going to ask about a CT scan. My docs said 6 months is the point where the swelling should be gone and its pretty much what you will look like.
Best of luck to Clark with the upcoming surgery.
