Now that I'm a confirmed self-pay, I have a HUGE decision to make as to what doctor I go with. I continue to read the boards, blogs, and forums as well as googling every doctor I hear of. Hopefully I will find my right fit soon and proceed on to the next step.

Best advice? Do lots of research! Talk with people who have had the procedure done, ask about their doctor, ask about the facility he uses, is it JACHO certified (JACHO is THE gold standard certification here in the USA and International JACHO certification the gold standard out of the USA), ask to talk with other patients he has operated on, ask to tour the facility he uses, meet the staff at that facility, you CAN"T do to much research on who, where, when, how!

Best of luck to you! I am 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery, and have to say it was the BEST decision I ever made in my life!
