I was told the same thing for Emma. 50/50 chance of it working. We

did the surgery b/c in our circumstance we had nothing to lose (Emma's

kidneys were getting damaged b/c of her neurogenic bladder). I'm so

glad we did!! The surgery worked 110% for her! Not only did all her

symptoms get better, she actually IMPROVED bladder function and her

kidneys are almost totally normal now.

I say do it again in a second.
