Re: New to group with a question, please

I think it would really help if you knew beforehand what the stats where. I

was told they were 70-80%, and for a lot of us that was true. All surgeons

stats are not the same., all surgeries are not equal. If we had more

information from the start, then we would at least have an opportunity to

find the surgeon with the best stats.

I might have looked into a different type of surgery. At that time I

didn't know the difference between proximal and distal, and God

knows, I had no idea about a " common channel " and how much it would

be by-passed. Thankfully, these are things I've learned here, not

from my surgeon. I don't blame him, I just wish I had all the facts

to deal with when I was making my decision. I thought I did my

research, apparently I was wrong. Oh, BTW, I am sure he didn't tell

me that 50% would be considered a success. I also believe more and

more is known about the surgery as time goes on. I did NOT get any

good after care from my surgeon.... that has been and will be my one

complaint. I got the same old... " chewable vits and tums. " I'm

thankful every day that there are so many of us on here (and with

such diverse experiences and opinions) because there is always

something new to learn.

" If you always do, what you always did, you will always get, what you always

got! "

Read that on someone's byline.
