I am suppose to have surgery on Friday the 31st of Oct. Now I want to wait and have it done this way...is there any reason I shouldnt be doing this? I was told it could not be done robotically since there were two leaflets invloved, would it matter with the clips? Does anyone know?? Please respond ASAP. Thanks!!
