Thank you for your answers. I love this site b/c it answers so many of my questions, just looking at others questions. To bad I found it after my surgeries though. I know my doctor is excellent I just have to hear other surgeons opinions to rest my mind! Should of probably did this before surgery. You don't realize how many questions you have till after the procedure! I think I posted another similiar to this one b/c I didn't think this one went through. I'll send more pics from different angles.
