Thanks Jill for your information....
Unfortunately, I have a problem with the $$ thing. I can pay for the surgery if I use all my savings but the issue is if I have problems down the line and getting covered. It's complicated. Fortunately, I'll be getting two more opinions next week and will have more information.
Thanks
