Petey,

I am here as I told you before...Funny you mention the age of your Dr. I too have what appears to be a very young Dr ( like doogie howser LOL ) ..Believe me one of the 1st things I asked him was if he was even old enough to operate on me.LOL He assured me he was and had done a number of these and one that week. His partner who did the surgery with him, also was young and I met him the day of surgery and also questioned him....My Dr laughed and told his partner "she likes to ask that question" I will tell you they were WONDERFUL !!!! The most comapssionate Drs I had ever dealt with ( cept those At Shriners Chidrens Hospital) I went to Boston and while I have the Utmost respect for those Dr ( who were older as well) I would 150% prefer my care where I had it . SO the question to ask is how many of these he has performed. You can barley see my scar and I am only 6 weeks out . I know you are scared , but you can do this and I believe your wife will step up...Lord knows My husband did. We do what we have to to get through these things ..it like survial instinct. So take a deep breath only a few more days and you will have a better idea of what is going on and you can prepare ..sometimes the unknown is the hardest ..Always here and sending HUGS !!
