Thanks for your words of encouragement, unfortunately, my surgery isn't 3/4/02. That was the date I had with Dr. Fabito. They are supposed to get back to me next week with a new date... HOPEFULLY in March! Have you heard anything about Dr. Gaskin... I know nothing about him except what I have read on the profiles of his patients here. Please let me know if you have any information on him! Thanks and good luck to you too!
