    Hi Jasmine,

    Our former ortho had the EXACT same attitude, and I felt exactly as you did - basically "that's not good enough".

    I'm glad to see you posting and I know you will let us all know how Brianna's surgery goes on Oct. 3. She's in great hands.

    Again, for Jennifer or anyone else interested, here's the link to the stapling support group a bunch of us have started. There parents can talk to others considering the stapling AND to parents of kids who have already had it.
