Kountrymommi,
Dr. Crooms did my surgery Dec 07. He is an excellent surgeon and I have been doing very well. After a couple of crappy days, I felt very well. Be sure to really look over this website. It has answered more questions that I even knew to ask. I particularly found helpful the list of things to get before surgery. I found that I didn't need to use everything, but I was prepared. Good luck.
