@@fernanda.markus you are so positive that you want to go ahead with surgery stick to your guns you are not alone with your problem concerning your parents i have seen many others on the board in your situation parents/family/friends are concerned their might be a problem during surgery they love you, and its nice/ok to be concerned bring your parents to talk to one of your docs, and then another they can explain that surgery is a very good option for you they shouldn't "overly" worry look into finding a specific surgery for the procedure bring them to a informative seminar concerning surgery there minds should be put at ease any surgery has risks when you cross the street, you are also taking risks if after everything is said and done - parents are still not happy about surgery, i'm sure that you have the courage and strength to go ahead with the surgery it is your life my surgery changed and saved my life probably will help your life lllllots too good luck happy holidays kathy
