Thanks Dbab... if you're really curious about
this (yes, it's a surgical procedure), you can find numerous sites on both Yahoo and Google about
it. It's definitely one of the stranger procedures I've ever heard of, but given my alternatives (and the doctor who told me about
it... on Denver's list of top docs), I'm going to at least find out all I can about
it. I feel like I've exhausted just about
all my resources... no surprise given the fact that I've been suffering with this problem for over 30 years
.
