Pkipling,
Please excuse me, I know u are a consultant and all, but to call me "extremely misguided" is totally uncalled for. Especially u didn't even read my post properly and u still insulted. Just to clarify for u,, I wasn't generalizing in my post, I was giving me opinion on his situation in which he asked. Obviously, surgery will make sense for some 27 years olds.......
Laker,
U got some other opinions that agree with me on holding off surgery for now, so its up to u.
Good luck, at least u know its not the best decision having surgery at this time.
