I'd highly recommend meeting these surgeons in the New York area: Dr. Dix Poppas Cornell University Med Center 212.746.5337 (with Dix you also have the endocynological backing of Dr. New's Cornell Dept.) Dr. Moneer Hanna 973.325.7188 (we see him at Beth Israel in New York, but he has an office in New Jersey also) If you'd like any more information, or personal opinions of the above, don't hesitate to email me offlist, dkaufman@dk.com.Dirk
