Testimonials are just that, testimonials. You guys (you and Karl Graebner) should go to your surgeons websites and make sure they get the appropriate kudos. Glad you guys had good results. Like was said earlier, some people clearly need surgery, and maybe that was you. Many others dont need unnecessary surgery. Nevertheless, good luck to the initial poster, whether that individual needs surgery or not. Only he and his surgeon will ultimately know (based on multiple parameters). Not everyone needs surgery which is the bottom line.
