    Having a Difficult Time Deciding

    I’d like to very much thank each of you for your thoughtful responses to my post, so here’s my plan:

    Because I’m in a Southern California Medicare Advantage HMO Plan I’m required to meet with my primary Physician to obtain a referral, which I’ll do on January 24th. That will be followed with an appointment to meet the referred surgeon within my ‘Medical Plan’. This will allow me to determine his/her experience and at which hospital the surgery would be performed.

    Following that appointment I plan to return here and share the results of my visit, as this blog has been very helpful in my decision making to this point.
