frequently asked questions

I want to have this surgery without the knowledge of co-workers, family or friends. Can this be done?

Certainly, there is a possibility, but the answer requires consultation with your physician. Question your primary care physician and Dr. Thomas regarding the degree of your medical problems and potential impact on you, postoperatively: i.e., the potential for complications and need for postoperative care assistance. If you are utilizing insurance through your employer, it will be necessary to notify your employer regarding your decision to undergo surgery, so that insurance coverage can be determined.
