Thanks everyone for your replies. I have decided to put off surgery until the summer months. I am getting married in April and wish to be in adequate shape for our honeymoon. I have been sick and was forced to postpone the surgery anyway. This will give me more time to research the issue further and perhaps find another doctor with more experience to do the procedure.
