Based on your level of confusion, my advice would be to do some more research on your own before you make a decision. Talk to several people who have had each type of surgery and get a real and accurate idea of what you will be getting yourself into.

I know nothing about Dr. Houston so cant offer any comment but I think it is very important that whatever surgeon you choose, you should feel comfortable and safe with him/her. There is nothing wrong with meeting with different surgeons until you find one you are comfortable with. Your life will be in his/her hands after all so your feeling are important. If possible talk with current patients of whatever surgeon you meet with and see how they feel about him and how they are doing now.

There is no reason to hurry such a life-altering decision.

I wish you the best during the process.
