Just some info and advise not trying to change minds.

First off let me start by saying i had my surgery on the 29th of November so I am not trying to change minds. Here is my take, The wait in the states is less than a month. You still have to take all the classes. You still have to get Tri Care approval. However the follow up in the states is so much better. So if you are nearing your return date please consider waiting until you get back. I have had surgery both in Germany and here and I am way happier here. So If you are coming to Fort Campbell Wait!!!!!! Dr Sanborn and Dr Smith are so worth it. Here is my Time Line: We arrived from Germany Sept 27th 2007 PCP Appointment Oct 16th 2007 1ST Surgeons Appointment Nov 4th 2007 Surgery November 29th 2007 I am in my 3rd week post op and I feel wonderful.
