Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Hi, - I know we've had several members who had their TT's done by Dr. LoGerfo and his team, and hopefully they'll write in with details. I do know that most of them were extremely satisfied with the experience, and highly recommend him. The answers to many of your questions are personalized to the patient (how long it takes, etc.), and I do know that if circumstances indicate, he will change course and go with a general anesthesia. We had a member several years ago who was so anxious that it was decided that local was not a good idea for her. If you call his office, you can likely get information on how the surgery is typically performed; beyond that, yours are some great questions to ask him when you meet. You may also want to inquire about relaxation techniques for the days and weeks beforehand. Please let us know what you learn. thanks - NYC Lorenzo wrote: > Yes, his name is Lo Gerfo, NOT DeGrofolo; I guess Lo > Gerfo is too hard to spell; and pronounce.
