I just saw a surgeon last week but I have not made a decided yet. Surgeon referred me to this site due to my busy work schedule as a place I could find support and learn from.

I am in Northern CA Bay Area and wondering who is willing to share/mentor/buddy?

You are definitely in the right place! There are literally thousands of people here willing to offer a helping hand, myself included! If you have any questions be sure to post them...you'll see the support instantly!

Search the forums for different key words. Especially, look up the names of the doctors who you are considering. Compare their track records and abilities (and after care programs!). Who stacks up and who doesn't? Don't be afraid to ask us (and your doctors) questions.

Welcome! You will find a wealth of info here and learn so much. Just read and ask questions and good luck on your decision.
