Susan,
I am myself scheduled to have surgery on June 23rd in New Orleans < my insurance chose not to cover any local surgeons, so I have to travel> , and my surgeon is fairly new at this also, but none of the patients he has operated on so far had any complications. He has been a surgeon for years and is reputable with no bad feedback, so I have complete trust in him. Don't let that set you back, go for it, good luck on your journey and email me if you want to. I know, for myself, I am soooooooooooo ready for this surgery, follow your heart, and remember, every surgeon started somewhere! :)
Take Care--
Andrea
