I will be having GCS it is only a matter of when I can afford it. Originally I thought around three years, but unfortunately there is a good chance that plan will change and it will be closer to 5-10 years.
I've had no major healing issues. It still has a tiny bit to be totally healed, but I don't really feel a lot of scar tissue. I felt no pain. He was very professional. He did write a letter that qualified for both my DMV and the US passport officials (both now have Fs).
The only bad part was that I had to leave "that" part exposed after it was cleaned and numbed until the shots had time to numb everything and I felt VERY anxious.
This is my thread where I questioned it and several people present pros/cons.
