overwhelmed and loving it!!!

I've not heard of Dr. Hoddinott while in my time on the DS boards here on OH.  I'd suggest having a set of pointed questions about how many DS's he's completed, and all that fun stuff for him.  My surgeon is not a vetted DS surgeon on dsfacts.com, but I did and do have complete confidence in him.  I hope you find some good information that will help you with your decision.
