I would definitely have the surgery again. It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

I am concerned, though, that your doctor gives no pre-op or post-op instructions. That sounds foolhardy to me. He is the expert, after all. It's not reasonable to expect patients to figure things out for themselves. Oh, I'm all for doing your own research and being your own advocate. But we pay doctors for their expertise. One that refuses to answer questions or give advice seems dangerous to me.
