I do agree with wr on having surgery in the states. I would not have another surgery here unless I was blocked and/or if it is an emergency. I also think that you need to talk to the dr. in Germany but also get statistics from people that have had surgery there. It is a big decision and a lot of $ but worth it if it helps you. So read all of the info. on the website and ask ?'s to other patients.
