I would make the decision who you feel comfortable as your surgeon and go with him/her. If you decide on the 2nd surgeon, give your insurance co a call & explain the situation. They will understand and work with you. Afterall this is a lifelong decision and you have every right to change your mind on one physician to go with another.
