Well that raises another question. I actually did find a small independent clinic here in MN that does offer ADR. (and if anyone is curious pm me I have the link) Now I could go visit them and I'm sure I could get them to write this letter. But if that happens will I end up having to get the surgery with them, if its approved? Or (fingers crossed) could I take my approval and then head overseas to have an experienced surgeon preform the surgery?
