i sure would hate if someone found out they pretend its lost just to get more money out of insurance companies. i was also scheduled for surgery because it was lost but in place, thats impossible, anyway i couldn't wait for the surgery cause stupid dr todd m beste caused an infection. on the plus side i didn't have to be put to sleep cause i found a better doctor that got it out in a few seconds.
its so hard to find a good doctor these days willing to take it out, its just better never to get it.
