Make the best decisions you can, and be at peace with it. Odds are you will pull through just fine!

My doctor didn't appear either and he also has less than 1% deaths. You have to go with the one you feel at peace with, at least that's what I did, I prayed about choosing the right surgeon and had a peace about him.
