Don't be surprised if the new opinion is more or less diametrically opposite to the ones you have. It seems like the more opinions patients here get, the more different opposing views then end up with. All I can suggest is to really ask a lot about why the new surgeon suggests what he/she suggests so you can understand what they see as the driving forces in their recommendation.
