Hi Magictime....

When I post here, I do try and point out alternatives - just in case there is something that the questioner hasn't considered and may wish they had later on. Many of my patients have, in fact, done the rounds of many practitioners and consultants. Some are glad they did because they found something that made more sense than they had been told so far - others, like yourself, find that much choice simply does not help.

One reality is that you will get a slightly different opinion from everyone you ask - another is that there are NO cast iron guarantees whatever you do - not even with grafting. Many patients say to me - well if I KNEW that this that the other was 100% guaranteed to work, then I would go ahead. But its a bit like Schroedingers Cat - you don't KNOW its in the box until you open it. I suppose its what makes life so interesting.

Your decision makes total sense for you and the fact that we have all thrown alternatives at you and you say - "Well, you know what? I still think I am right in what I am doing" has validated that.

All the best!
