Wow Congrats on getting your class as well as signing your consent.

Dr Mamazza performed my surgery. I really like him. My only suggestion for you as you move forward is to write down questions you may have for him. Dr Mamazza will not volunteer any information other than to say, "do you have any questions for me" lol He will of course go over the risks of surgery etc but not much else unless you ask him. He is truly a man of few words.

All the best with your upcoming appointments.

Oh, Ann, thank you -- I'm taking your advice and am already writing down questions I may need to ask him. I'm a good listener :)
